As a Munich-based software consultancy, anarcon endeavors to provide its customers with the highest quality services. Since summer 2017, we also dedicated ourselves to help people for whom it is not going so well in life and to contribute our part to environmental protection by joining Pledge 1%.
Already via Pledge 1% our employees have taught German to refugees, drove ambulances with care-dependent people, or liberated rivers from trash. When we heard about#GivingTuesday and #Pledge1Gives we knew we had to establish a whole new way of giving back. For this reason, we are launching a one-of-a-kind campaign where we as a company invite socially deprivedpeople and refugees to our business training facilities in Munich in order to facilitate their way back to a better life.
Germany is facing huge social challenges these days and therefore we believe that
this campaign comes exactly at the right time. Furthermore, we are convinced that this activity will have a great impact on our company culture and our employees.
The campaign kicked off on Tuesday 21st November with a couple of young women–all with completely different social backgrounds. What they all had in common was that they shared a lost control over their lives due to diseases, nursing cases or emigration caused by war in their countries. In a one day workshop, our director of consulting and two more consultants took the chance to teach them how to write a letter of application, to perform well in a job interview, and last but not least, helped them gain confidence. It was great fun to meet such courageous and determined women and to discover the story behind their faces.
This is just the beginning. At anarcon, we will definitely proceed with this campaign, spread the word and tell our business partners to join us in giving via Pledge 1%.
