Aktuelles | News

Klimawandel - ein inzwischen viel strapaziertes Wort. In Kooperation mit Organisationen in Bulgarien, Griechenland und Italien wurde ein Online-Kurs zu Aspekten des Klimawandels erarbeitet.

Beitrag zu einem vernachlässigten Thema: Braucht mehr Klimaschutz mehr soziale Gerechtigkeit? Wie kann verhindert werden, dass Ärmere vom Klimawandel stärker betroffen sind als Reiche?

Diskussion mit Publikumsbeteiligung; mit Dirk Schrade, Deutsche Bundesbank, Dr. Norbert Häring, Handelsblatt, und Dr. Dirk Ehnts, Pufendorf-Gesellschaft. Die Aufzeichnung ist jetzt online.

Talk without Show
Public discussion events, sometimes linked with culture, on current topics of society, economy and politics. Interested citizens talk to invited guests and vice versa.
DIALOGUE café
Get to know people, laugh, play, speak freely in a friendly atmosphere. Open exchange, the topics determine the ones that are there. We invite you to participate.
Fresh-up Economics
How is money created? Do we need growth? Why are there crises? What does it mean to organise an economy which runs socially and ecologically? Colleagues from seven countries are developing a multilingual learning platform to enhance citizens’ economic literacy.
Resilient Work in Europe
The upheavals of the present are also changing the world of work. In cooperation with five partner organisations, educational materials for adult educators and interested citizens are being developed.
Financial Literacy
Project to promote digital financial literacy among immigrant women so that economic self-reliance and financial independence can succeed in the new country.
Climate and Change
THROUGH DEMOCRACY AND INCLUSION: Project on ‘burning’ ecological issues, where learners of the participating organisations can also participate in European encounters abroad.
Climate VS. Change?
Extreme weather, melting polar ice caps, dry and hot summers even in Central Europe: climate change is manifesting itself in many ways. Colleages from four EU countries exchange on good practises to raise awareness of ecological issues and develop a MOOC.
Moving Memories
The history of Europe is full of upheavals – just as they are happening today. The project is creating a multilingual learning platform about transformations in the past – and how they are still alive today.
Museum as…
DIVERSITY INTEGRATOR: How can people get interested in museums? What should museums do to make visitors understand them as their space? Museums and educational institutions cooperate on these and other questions.
Womens’ Perspectives
… on society’s divisions: How do women see the current developments? How do they perceive their situation in the different countries of Europe? What would they like to change?

EQUITY
Equal opportunities and inclusion in VET. Developing modules to support young migrant in finding their way into working life and making schools more inclusive.
Empowering…

About us
The weltgewandt ("open to the world") Institute for Intercultural Political Education invites you to discover the worlds on your doorstep, close surrounding and far away – and to benefit from them. weltgewandt has education to offer. Not in the sense of schooling, but rather as a stimulus for independent thought. And not as ‘classical’ teaching either, as is often the case in school, but by means of creative methods. Adequate information is nevertheless ensured. The focus of attention will be placed on multiple perspectives and discussion, empowerment and the stimulation of contact as well as encounter. Subject areas that are given preferential treatment are: the economy and social issues, diversity and integration, and the culture of remembrance. weltgewandt’s offers address people of all social and cultural backgrounds. We would like to encourage the release of creative energy and the discovery of a sense of self-efficacy, whilst advocating democracy, fairness, freedom, tolerance and human rights. Our projects are financed by the European Union and the Federal State of Berlin.

Women and Robotics
