🏢 About the local organisation
- In what kind of future do we want to live in?
- What are the hopes and aspirations of youth all over the world for the future?
- How can we shape the future together?
These are some of the key questions the school project will focus on. The participants will work and live in an international group. Workshops with students will be led by the group in various schools, including perspectives from the Global South and the Global North. An important aim of the project is to discuss alternatives on a global and local level and motivate young students to get active.
💼 What the programme involves
The project is divided into two main parts: training seminar and school workshops. During the ten days training, the participants will get to know each other and exchange knowledge, ideas and opinions on the topic. A team of two trainers will give input and support the participants to design workshops in small groups. During the second part of the project the participants will present the workshops at different schools.
🏠 Accommodation on site
During the first part of the project the group will be accommodated in a seminar house in the rural area of Engelskirchen. For the second part of the project the group will move to a seminar house in Cologne. In both accommodations, participants will share a room. During the training phase, a chef & camp supporter will cook for the participants. Afterwards, all meals will be prepared by the group.
