The starting point of the platform-building process in Dortmund-Nordstadt was a shortage in several child and youth related infrastructures such as school places, places in daycare facilities for children and pediatricians affecting mostly newcomer children and youth. Apparently, this shortage was not reflected in media cover-age or public debate. Thus, the platform-building process in this site resulted a core event where 400 school chairs were set up at a central square in Nordstadt aiming to raise awareness for the issue and bring it to the table. Further aims are bringing stakeholders together, making the stories of the affected families visible and showing appreciation for those actors dealing with the issues in their daily work.
