“I have made arguments’: Citizen’s benefit recipient has to convince job center of TikTok career. Pascal and his mother Petra, known from the RTLZWEI program “Hartz und Herzen”, have this goal.

They want to end their dependence on citizen money and earn their own money as an influencer on TikTok. The family lives in a social housing estate in Mannheim, the so-called Benz Barracks. They are hoping for a grant of 300 euros per month to make it easier for them to become self-employed.
