Between The Lines / Solingen
Young people in crisis situations often don’t know who to turn to. At the same time, many associations in the field of youth welfare don’t know how to reach their target group with offers. Nick Wüsthoff and Oliver Kroeger are developing the app Between the Lines, which gives young people low-threshold, anonymous and autonomous access to suitable aid projects and counselling services.
