Media literacy and digital sovereignty

In our seminars, young people explore current digital developments. They learn to experiment with and understand artificial intelligence (AI). This includes fundamental knowledge about how AI works, the use of social media, distinguishing between facts and fake news, and the merging of digital and analog spheres.

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

Learning through media practice

Through their own media productions or other projects, participants experience the creative use of analog and digital media. We offer diverse approaches: from analog black and white photography to simple programming steps. Action-oriented learning processes emerge, allowing young people to immerse themselves in the project and making knowledge tangible.

They are grappling with questions of identity formation and understanding the world. They are examining personal experiences and societal developments. They are searching for solutions to the challenges of digitalization.
