Civic education strengthens participation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We promote civic education that encourages participation. Young people engage with key issues facing our society. They learn to understand themselves and others better and discover that their actions matter on topics such as the rise of the right wing, climate change, Europe, elections, and civic engagement. The aim of our programs is to strengthen participants' understanding of democracy and to enable them to experience co-determination and self-efficacy. Participants learn about different opinions and perspectives. They engage in lively debate and develop a sense of their responsibility within society. Through artistic workshops, excursions, and informative presentations, we create a space for expanding knowledge, developing their own ideas, critical thinking, and active participation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One's own life world as a starting point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our seminars, we take the experiences and interpretations of young people seriously. We encourage participants to critically examine their world. They learn to perceive themselves as human beings with head, heart, and hands, whose lives are influenced by politics. Young people in a Voluntary Social Year (FSJ) or students discover how they can contribute to social processes. Topics such as resource distribution, power, and access to education are central. Questions arise about privilege, barriers, and a society characterized by diversity, open-mindedness, and justice. European Convention on Human Rights<\/a> <\/strong>This provides guidance.
