The "Rural Voices 2030" project aims to promote development education in rural areas, particularly outside of formal educational institutions. Through transformative education in the non-formal sector, young people between the ages of 15 and 30 are sensitized to global issues such as soil conservation and motivated to get involved. In participatory workshops, they develop ideas for public actions and venues to raise their voices for soil conservation. Networking meetings between urban and rural education stakeholders are also organized. The results are shared with multipliers to facilitate more development education in rural areas.

With a concept meeting and four multiplier training sessions, we are developing an educational format and training team leaders to motivate young adults to engage in sustainable and successful development policy. We are relying on participation and will plan the development and implementation of the educational formats together with young adults. We will develop two workshop days and a mentoring concept and build up a pool of around 4 volunteers. In addition, the team leaders will be sent to around 50 seminars during the project period, where they will lead the workshops. After and at the end of the project, we will reflect on the workshops using the practical experience so that they can be firmly anchored in our seminar work.
Indigenous women are the keepers of thousands of stories about the biodiversity that surrounds them. Through the network of indigenous and local communities built by the Meli Bees Network, we have heard indigenous stories from women of different ethnicities, such as Guajajara, Aikewara, Krahô, Aymara, Kokama, Nahua, etc. Now it is time to collect these stories and present them to German children and young people. With this project, we will collect and illustrate stories from indigenous women. The stories are related to flowers found in their territories. These women will then present their stories to German children at events in partnership with schools in Ochsenhausen and online.
The Empowerment Network is a safer space for people of color who are affected by racism, especially in the arts and culture sector. We offer protected spaces for exchange, healing and mutual strengthening. Our goal is to promote empowerment and power sharing by connecting people from art, culture, science and activism who are dealing with racist power structures. Through workshops, online check-ins, live meetings, a retreat and a public event, we want to promote the resilience and visibility of creative voices of BIPoC and create a sustainably supportive network.
Africa in Germany - Visibly Indispensable is a series of events on African expertise in Germany. We make invisible actors visible and show African contributions to German society. On our six interactive action days, we present the African diaspora as a driver of change in business, politics and culture. We address contributions from African experts in the areas of business, science, politics and social life as a whole. We talk about entrepreneurship, offer literature and art events, create a potpourri of portraits and stories of successful Africans with an exhibition and open up spaces for dialogue on the diaspora's different visions of the future.
In the context of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (WWII), we are accompanying the exhibition "Our Victims Don't Count - The Third World in World War II" with an extensive program of events (lectures, films, audio contributions, publications, workshops, and city tours). We aim to remember and honor the colonial soldiers as well as the millions of forgotten victims of World War II in and from the Global South. For the series planned for 2, international experts will be invited to Freiburg, and their input will be supplemented with concrete local references. Postcolonial city tours and workshops for young people on colonialism and the theme of the exhibition, as well as a series of feature films and documentaries at the municipal cinema, round out the event program.
The Stadtteilaktiven2030 are committed to the global implementation of Agenda 2030 and the climate goals through educational work and tips for a food and energy transition in the neighborhood. With networking meetings and training courses, we enable the district actors to implement concepts for sustainable nutrition and the energy transition locally, as well as innovative educational methods. With cooking courses and traveling lunch tables, among other events, we give the residents of Stuttgart opportunities to achieve the SDGs and the climate goals. In doing so, we present the benefits for the residents of the neighborhood and the benefits for people in the global south in parallel. The results are presented centrally to the municipal council and the city administration (including the district administration).
The project is the organization and implementation of a national conference to promote international development and cooperation projects in Baden-Württemberg and at the University Hospital Ulm (UKU). The event is intended to provide the opportunity to give the interested public, politicians, industry and business representatives, as well as members of the medical profession, an overview of ongoing development projects abroad, especially with DA) countries. Invited project groups have the opportunity to present their projects in lectures and to discuss them with other project implementers. In addition, discussions on networking can take place at information stands run by funding institutions such as foundations.
The project includes 5 events: 1 workshop on Critical Whiteness for people who are perceived as white, 1 workshop on empowerment for BIPoC in Spanish, 1 workshop on empowerment for BIPoC in English, 1 workshop on empowerment for BIPoC in German (for people who have been living in Germany for a long time), 1 4-day summer camp for everyone. The workshops serve both to raise awareness and provide further training on the topic of racism from different perspectives and are intended to provide tools for empowerment and to counter the shift to the right. The camp serves to deepen the experience. The topic of inclusion and togetherness as a counterpole to racism should be experienced above all when doing things together. It should contribute to strengthening civil society and make fear-free design a tangible experience.
In order to create contemporary, high-quality ESD/GL offerings, well-trained extracurricular multipliers and permanent qualification offerings are needed. The project "Global Facilitator: (Un)learning for Change" designs, implements, evaluates, implements and disseminates a comprehensive qualification course. This builds on the "Global Facilitator" concept (2016) and redesigns it in terms of didactics and content along aspects such as decolonial perspectives, transformative education, democracy education and the whole institution approach. The course includes two 2-day and one XNUMX-day classroom modules, a practical phase and individual support of the participants by the course leader. The course is also documented and distributed in a brochure.
