This is why earlier this year, the 2hearts leadership team decided to double down on our efforts to empower school students across Germany – by bringing 2hearts community members to their hometowns. Today, we are thrilled to see the German public broadcaster ZDF picking up on our efforts and bringing the powerful stories to life – shared with millions of viewers on screen. The feature in today’s 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻 highlights two powerful journeys – Thaksan’s and Lema’s – showing how their paths and perspectives inspire students and open new possibilities for their futures. We visited schools in Dortmund and Düsseldorf – witnessing how 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 can inspire and move young people. We create encounters that change lives – for equal opportunities aiming at cracking the rigid social mobility ceiling in Germany. 🎯 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Empower young students from underrepresented groups of society to find inspiration in strong role models and equip them with future-ready skills. 📰 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: When young people meet models they can identify with, we change the trajectory of their lives. 📍 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 2026: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 our school projects to all 2hearts Chapters – from Berlin to Munich – reaching more than 50 schools and over 10,000 students. A heartfelt thank you to our inspiring role models Lema, Thaksan, Nilgün and Firas, who brought energy and authenticity to every classroom and carried our message far beyond both cities. Special thanks to Thadeus for bringing our mission to screen, to the 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗥𝗪 for their support as well as BuntStiftung München – and to Johan, Illta, Elnura and Oktay for their fantastic organization. Big thank you to our partner Deutsche Postcode Lotterie, whose continuous support enables us to run 2hearts@school and expand our impact across Germany. Their commitment to equal opportunities helps us reach even more students and bring powerful role models directly into classrooms. 🎬 Watch the full feature from 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗭𝗗𝗙 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻 to see 2𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀@𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 in action!

From Classroom Dream to Award-Winning Startup What started as a classroom idea is now an award-winning startup on a mission to make life easier for thousands. Meet Orduna — founded by young visionaries with a shared purpose: to simplify access to German authorities for immigrants and make integration smoother for everyone. Their journey took a big turn when co-founder Vlera Karameta joined the 2hearts community and met Maik Luu Bach and Onur Mehmed, who immediately recognized the team’s passion and decided to guide them through the startup journey. That mentorship – combined with hard work and heart – paid off: Orduna just won 1st place in the Impact category at this year’s STARTUP TEENS Awards! This is more than a success story. It’s proof that when community, mentorship, and purpose come together, dreams become impact. ❤️❤️ Read the full story ⬇️

I wondered how I could find my place without losing my own identity. That’s where the 2hearts community made a huge difference. As a network for people with migration background, it connected me with Florian Bankoley. Having a sparring partner who not only understood the corporate world but also my personal journey was invaluable. Our regular check-ins were simple but powerful. Florian's best advice? "𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆." And it worked. I'm now well over halfway through my JMP trainee program at Bosch and am currently supporting our corporate research department in Silicon Valley. Big thanks to Florian for being a great guide and to the entire 2hearts community for creating a space where these connections can happen. It’s not just professional networking; it’s about shared experience. 🔄 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿. Thanks for sharing your journey, Alex! ✨ Are you ready to find your own career companion?
