Our Projects
Community Changemaker 2030
The project aims to equip young people with essential competencies and tools that contribute to transformation towards climate protection and diversity on a local and global level. The participants are coached and trained in the methods of project management, Asset-Based-Community-Development and storytelling. Moreover, the exchange component of the project gives participants more global perspectives and fosters the skills of collaborating in a diverse group of people and learning from each other. By collecting positive stories and realising an own project, the participants have the chance to directly apply these competencies.
This project is supported by the Mindchangers initiative.
YoUbuntu
("Ubuntu" = Humanity towards each other)
Section Title
In this project 16 young people from Germany and South Africa are getting involved in experiencing the philosophy ‘ubuntu’. They get coached in social, sustainable and entrepreneurial aspects. In a binational exchange, they learn about global relationships, the Sustainable Development Goals, new solutions and develop ideas for how to put these solutions into practice. The activities are centred around a reflection on you and your collective surroundings, exploring new ways of sustainable living.
Vukuzenzele
("Wake up and do it yourself")
This project is focused on community building and equality to empower participants to have a sense of agency within their own communities. It brings people together to explore issues, voice concerns or simply to be creative and tell stories in a collective learning experience. By using The Participatory Video methodology it is focused on supporting a community driven response to effect the social change they aspire.

-
Why is Global Learning important?
-
How can we think beyond our borders and promote the SDGs?
-
What are perspectives for a more sustainable, just and equal future and how can everybody contribute?
