Media literacy and digital sovereignty

In our seminars, young people explore current digital developments. They learn to explore and understand artificial intelligence (AI). This includes basic knowledge of how AI works, the use of social media, recognizing facts and fakes, and the merging of digital and analog spaces of action.

The aim is to empower young people so that they can move safely and independently in digital and analogue spaces as responsible, digital citizens.

Learning through media practice

Through their own media production or other projects, participants experience the creative use of analog and digital media. We offer a variety of approaches, from analog black-and-white photography to simple programming steps. This creates action-oriented learning processes that allow young people to immerse themselves in the project and bring knowledge to life.

Reflecting on digitalization

Young people in voluntary service, in vocational training, and at school reflect on the impact of digitalization on their lives and their environment. They explore questions of identity formation and world appropriation. They explore personal experiences and social developments. They seek solutions to the challenges of digitalization.
