Mirjam Zweigle is doing her federal voluntary service at the EJW. She has long been concerned with the question of how to further develop open interaction with people from different nations. She describes herself as an open person whose goal is to open doors through intercultural encounters and exchange. She wants to use her year in the Federal Volunteer Service to break down stereotypical images of others, create tolerance for ambiguities, and initiate critical reflection to counteract her own cultural bias.
