Coaching
Coaching supports people in developing their individual capabilities. In this context, the nehemia team promotes the discovery of one’s own potential in order to implement it independently in one’s own life practice. With committed people and groups of people, specific possible solutions are developed which bring about a lasting change in their life reality.
Small Business Development
The best help is often to enable people to become independent. Together with its partners, the nehemia team develops tailor-made small business plans and accompanies them step by step through their implementation. In recent years, companies such as Fair Trade Pfefferhandel from Borneo and a bakery in Kenya have emerged.
Events
Workshops, seminars, concerts or stays abroad – there are always many events the nehemia team invites you to. The focus is on personal development, civil society projects and breaking down one’s own boundaries. Information on current training courses, events and foreign assignments can be found here.
Intercultural Training
The goal of our intercultural training is to understand people from other cultures. The target groups are Germans who work with people from a migrant background as well as people who themselves have a refugee background.
It is possible to order our intercultural training material directly from nehemia team e.V. for a fee after signing a user agreement.
