Reflecting and re-adjusting church partnership work and travel

The encounters between North and South, for example as part of a partnership trip, are high points in the church's partnership work. In these shared moments, people come into contact with one another, exchange ideas and experience one another intensively. In doing so, not only expectations and hopes come into contact, but also different life experiences and contexts.

How can civic engagement be promoted internationally? What role do migrant and post-migrant organizations and their experiences in their country of origin and their new home in Germany play? What can joint reflection on this look like in encounter programs and partnership work?

The seminar aims to create spaces for reflection. Representatives of partnerships, migration and diaspora organizations, the church and civil society will participate in the discussion.

The participants can exchange ideas with other partnership groups from the church in a practical way and pursue relevant questions.

Date: Friday, 27.9 September from 16:00 to Saturday, 28.9 September at 16:00 in the Hospitalhof Stuttgart

Biogas, solar and wind power: Sustainable energy production in sub-Saharan Africa: Development policy lunch talk

Post date May 21

More than 40% of the population in Africa still does not have access to electricity. States and societies in sub-Saharan Africa are faced with the challenge of meeting growing energy needs with sustainable and innovative solutions. At the same time, the renewable energy resources on the African continent are considerable. And its geographical proximity to Europe could also enable Africa to develop into a central player in global trade in sustainable energy.

What sustainable and innovative options for energy production are available in sub-Saharan Africa? Where are the challenges? And what role does Germany and Europe play here? We would like to ask our guests Katrin Pütz, managing director of the social business (B)energy, Jun.-Prof., which operates in Africa, to answer these and other questions. Dr. Philipp Trotter, junior professor for sustainable management at the University of Wuppertal, and Dr. Christoph Hoffmann MP, deputy. Chairman of the Committee for Economic Cooperation and Development in the German Bundestag, discuss it - and with you!

With this event, funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is making a contribution to making the goals of the 2015 Agenda adopted by the United Nations in 2030, particularly in the area of human rights and the rule of law, better known . It takes place in cooperation between the Baden-Württemberg state office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom and the Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ).
