Temporary Accommodation for Young Refugees in Berlin Kreuzberg
As a lateral entrant in the social sector, I am currently managing the operations of a 24/7 temporary shelter with about 60 beds for unaccompanied minor refugees that have newly arrived in the city of Berlin. With a team of 60 full-time and part-time employees and in close contact with local authorities, service providers, associations and cultural practitioners, we take care of the socio-pedagogical support of our young clients, their medical care and the organization of leisure activities.
THE PASSAGE
THE PASSAGE – A New Era of Peace
Immersive Experience – Coming soon
In collaboration with the Israeli-American multidisciplinary artist Aviva Rafaela and the French curator Yeocheva Gabbay.
The Passage is an immersive experience, an alternative world in which there is no certainty, no knowledge and no truth, but only perception: It confronts visitors with the perceptions they hold about others as well as about themselves. The Passage exposes the differences that divide communities as mere illusions, while bringing to light the infinite, invisible connections between all individuals. It fundamentally disrupts the concept of identity.

Short Film
Featuring KLAUS-DIETER WALKE
Written, produced, shot, directed and edited by SOPHIE STOLLE
This short film tells the story of my grandfather and the millions of trees he planted in my home region. It is a story about foresight, patience, trust and letting go; about legacy, intergenerational justice and the things we leave to those who come after us; a reminder that we all are descendants of our ancestors, beneficiaries of their selfless actions, and that one day, we will be ancestors, too.
