With their activities during the One World Days in September and October, they showed that everyone can do something for fairer life chances worldwide.

Your. One World. 2017. She presented the prizes during the awards ceremony.

29 cities and municipalities as well as one district took part in the project in 2017 with around 360 events. The award winners particularly illustrated how the United Nations' 2030 Agenda with its 17 goals for sustainable development can be implemented. Goal 1, for example, is to end poverty in all forms and everywhere. And Goal 11 aims to make cities and settlements more sustainable.

The jury, which consisted of experts from the areas of municipalities, education and partnership work, placed particular emphasis on local networking, addressing target groups, public relations and its exemplary character for other initiatives.

No comments SEZ has the backing of the Chair of the Board of Trustees

The SEZ's annual board of trustees meeting took place on November 14th, at which chairwoman Theresa Schopper clearly supported the work of the foundation. “The global challenges are increasing rapidly. In times like these, the SEZ is more important than ever. The country therefore supports the foundation. I am particularly pleased about three things: that Future Fashion is launching a stylish campaign that aims to rouse young people, that the state's financial support ensures the foundation's work even in difficult interest income situations and that we have Mr. Philipp Keil as a committed managing director for another five years Board won.” Philipp Keil's contract had recently been extended and he can now continue his duties with new support from the board of trustees. The Board of Trustees oversees the work of the SEZ, defines the principles for the work of the Foundation within the framework of the statutes and monitors compliance with them.

The lawyers from Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania are given a tandem partner to support them and accompany them at work for a week. This contributes to a direct and professional exchange and ensures a better understanding of each other's justice system. They also attend several hearings at the Higher Regional Court and visit the State Criminal Police Office, the correctional facility in Stammheim and an auditing firm. All guests will also be part of an evening event with Ministerial Director Elmar Steinbacher and recognized experts on the subject of international law. At the end of their visit, the lawyers from East Africa will take part in the annual conference of the Society for African Law on November 10th and 11th, 2017 in Freiburg.

Guests in Stuttgart are the lawyer Elisabeth Swai Simon from Tanzania, Alexis Manirakiza from Burundi, who is currently working in Antwerp, Claude Mwanza from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Jean-Claude Nsengiyumva from Rwanda.

They form tandems with prosecutor Melanie Rischke from Stuttgart, Dr. Silke Benner, presiding judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court, Verena Alexander, judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court and Evelyn Oltmanns, presiding judge at the Stuttgart Regional Court.

The aim of the project is a professional exchange about the essential requirements for an independent and efficient judiciary. Through the exchange and the associated change of perspective, the lawyers from Africa and Germany can further develop their horizons of experience with the respective other system. The aim is also to create a partnership and professional network that simplifies the exchange of information and experiences.

Partners are the Robert Bosch Foundation, the Society for African Law e. V., the law firm Hamann Rechtsanwälte, the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute Freiburg, the city of Freiburg, the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg and the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court.
