All Kinds consists of girls in the age of 13 to 21 years old, most of them with a refugee or immigrant background. The project is mainly addressed to girls in Aarhus, who do not participate in mainstream youth club offers. The girls wish to contribute to and interfere with the public debate on refugees and immigrants in Denmark, integration and cultural difference, in order to make a difference and effect the development in a positive way. All Kinds performs and enters into dialogue throughout Denmark. They perform in schools, continuation schools, pedagogical schools, social workers' courses, institutions, cultural events, girls' clubs, women's clubs, conferences, etc. A personal and creative introduction – consisting of rap, songs, poems, drama, and dance – provide the material for the debate with the audience. The starting point is the girls' individual everyday experiences and personal perceptions and positions. The topics of discussion include: arranged marriages, headscarves, traditions, norms, values, boyfriends, friends, girlfriends, visions for the future, education, occupation, family, and teenage life.
