Idea

We travel the world and bring people together where they live. Education (Bildung), lifelong learning, and orientation in a time of opportunities and great challenges are what our work is about. The events and projects we conceptualize and implement are based on three guiding themes:

  • Identity and Responsibility: who are we, who do we want to be?
  • Understanding and Criticism: a culture of debate
  • Self-thinking and Objectiveness: understanding and overcoming public thinking barriers

In order to make an event as close to life as possible, we combine these three guiding themes with contents to be found in our themed world. Join us in doing so! We promote self-efficacy in the context of social and global challenges in order to replace feelings of powerlessness with the experience that we can be successful at least in understanding and establishing connections.

Life in the Digital Age

We live in the age of digital transformation. Almost everything in human life is affected by it. The dynamics of development are breathtaking. However, there are reasons for considering the digital transformation one of the biggest challenges of our time. We need to shape it, remaining critical observers of developments by asking what it means to live a life in the digital age.

Life on Planet Earth

Modern telescopes allow us to have stunning impressions of the universe in which billions of galaxies, even more suns and numerous planets exist. Planet Earth has become quite ordinary. Do we need to feel small and irrelevant, though, in the face of such grandeur? And is it not a misunderstanding of the progress made in cosmology, if this progress makes us lose respect for nature without which life is inconceivable? Seeing the Earth on a cosmic scale can motivate us to understand more about our planet. 

Life in a globalized world

Globalization is a promise that poses major challenges to keep. Moreover, not everyone wants to hear such a promise today. Critics of globalization are opposed to supporters. And as soon as life in a globalized world affects not only economic but also cultural and identity-related issues, heated debates arise about homeland, language, nation, and migration. Our third topic area is mainly concerned with questions in the context of culture and identity.
