On July 21, Norman B\u00fccher visited us in Karlsruhe \u2013 bringing with him a flag several meters long that has already accompanied him on parts of his journey around the world. He will also take it with him to the United Nations in New York in September. For us, as a sponsor of his \u201c7 CONTINENTS\u201d project, it was a special moment to welcome B\u00fccher in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Food for thought<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The original plan was for us to meet with B\u00fccher and our managing director, Mirko Ketterer, in the kitchen for a brief welcome. This quickly developed into a brief impromptu talk followed by a Q&A session. B\u00fccher spoke about his journey and his encounters with young people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of his encounters, especially in poorer countries, touched him deeply. The openness and curiosity with which he was received there left a lasting impression on him. “A certain amount of humility can be a good thing sometimes,” B\u00fccher says with a smile. Many things we take for granted, like running water for a morning shower, are unthinkable in other parts of the world. Yet the desires of young people aren\u2019t all that different from one another: basic needs are, in fact, the same worldwide – such as the desire to \u201cbe seen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curious questions came from the group: Had anything serious ever happened to him on one of his journeys, or had he ever found himself in a dangerous situation? “Hardly ever,” says B\u00fccher. On the contrary: he was almost always welcomed with open arms and invited in. Although one or two situations did turn out to be adventurous or forced him to discard his original plans and adjust his course. But the bottom line is that his experiences make him optimistic: “People are actually good, and there is a lot of humanity in the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our managing director also took the opportunity to share a few personal words with B\u00fccher. He was particularly moved by the documentary film about the Africa leg \u2013 “a film that children and teenagers absolutely should see” said Ketterer. B\u00fccher had already shown the film at schools in Karlsruhe over the past few weeks and discussed it with students there. You can find a detailed report on this on our blog<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Signing the flag<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Following the conversation, it was time for the actual highlight of the visit: we were allowed to sign the flag that will accompany B\u00fccher on the rest of his journey. As we discovered, it was not at all easy to find a free, unwritten spot on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we all went outside together to spread out the flag and capture the moment with a few photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What<\/strong>\u00b4s Next<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In early September, B\u00fccher will set off on the final leg of his journey: together with the collected voices of the children and young people, he will carry the flag to the United Nations in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted to support this wonderful project and wish you, dear Norman, all the best on the final leg \u2013 and hope that the voices of the children and young people are truly heard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
