In Berlin, a multicultural city, food from all over the world is part of our everyday lives. But where do our groceries come from? What influence do large corporations or the supermarket next door have on our diets? Do we really need fresh strawberries in winter, and what does our biofuel have to do with hunger or environmental destruction on other continents? In a five-day seminar, 40 students from Hector-Peterson School and the Carl von Ossietzky School They dealt with these and other questions and presented their results in the theater hall of the wannseeFORUM at the end. The audio group's radio play "Globalization for All?" explored the effects of mass production. It recounted a fictional journey to one of the world's largest greenhouses. The rap group wrote and performed lyrics on the topics of politics, globalization, and nutrition. The theater group presented the play "Pure Water Rights." The group addressed the questions of who owns the water and whether it should be sold to corporations. They presented their analysis of the problems and conflicts surrounding land use in palm oil production on their own website. Weblog „Eating with a conscience“ is presented.

The project was created in cooperation between the wannseeFORUM Foundation and the Victor Gollancz Adult Education Center Steglitz-Zehlendorf
