Ghani (*2000) grew up in the ancient Afghan trading city of Herat on the Iranian border. He set off alone to Germany at the age of fifteen.
Despite working in a bakery at weekends following internships in an anthroposophical kindergarten and a home for senior citizens on the side, Ghani has successfully graduated at the Ruth Cohn School for Social Affairs. He is interested in German philosophy and Max Weber, and would later like to become a graduate in social education.
In 2018 Ghani Ataei was awarded the Else Lasker-Schüler Poetry Prize.
