Citizens in Germany and across the world are experiencing the world today as a time of upheaval that is triggering feelings of fear, uncertainty and powerlessness – faced by social division, inequality, the rise of extremism, and an increasing polarisation of public and media discourses as well as new wars, an ongoing pandemic, and the climate crisis at a global level. The Foundation highlights this need for a new focus on democratic values with its international co-creative workshop "Polycrisis and Transformation: Values Orientation for a Democratic Awakening".
The educational programme focuses on building peace, justice, and a better world. The seminar will discuss nonviolent communication, conflict transformation and intersectional approach to human rights for changing society through peacebuilding. Because peace is more than the absence of war, it's a world where everyone can feel safe. Together, the group will find out which aspects are crucial in creating a counterforce to a world deeply troubled by war, conflict, climate change, pandemics, and the surging right-wing extremism.
Europäische Jugendbildung "Think Europe": Europa und die Welt befinden sich in Zeiten großer Umbrüche. Demografischer Wandel, die Rückkehr der Geopolitik und gefühlte wie auch wirkliche Unsicherheiten prägen das Leben nahezu aller Menschen. Viele der damit einhergehenden Herausforderungen können wir nur gemeinsam bewältigen, weil sie auch durch Zusammenleben entstanden sind.
