The "House of the Future" acts not only as a neighborhood center, but also as a lively place of encounter. Here, municipal, social, church and sporting sponsors and committed citizens work hand in hand. Quartier managers Ömer Kaya, who led visitors through the facility, emphasizes the importance of networking and participation of the residents. Youth groups reported on their experiences with the sports offer as part of the “Ring” project, which received new sports mats from the “Living in Neighborhood” program (WIN). This shows the great appreciation for sporting activities in the community. Streetworker Pawel Fedorenko also praised the excellent cooperation between the various actors in the district.

social integration in the district

Social development in Lüssum-Bockhorn has a long history that began in 1990 with the Bremen program for the improvement of large housing complexes. Since 1998, this work has been continued by the “Win ​​- Living in Neighborhoods” program. District management has the task of initiating projects and actively involving residents. Important programs such as the "social city" and "local capital for social purposes" (lot) support the integration of new residents, which often have a migration background.

As part of these social initiatives, numerous funding flow into the quarters. The Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building is specifically promoting the creation of meeting rooms in which people can come together regardless of their background. Financial support in the millions ensures that these characteristics of an integrative neighborhood continue to exist and can continue to be expanded. This ensures that all residents who have their center of life in Lüssum can benefit.

With his visits,

Bovenschulte not only brings the city's problems closer to the decision -makers, but also shows how important social cohesion is in our quarter. With projects like this, the goal is to create livable and integrative neighborhoods in which everyone has a place. Due to the close cooperation between the various institutions, the foundation stone is laid for a positive future in Bremen.
