Why is this important?
Our world is interconnected – decisions in Europe have direct effects on people in other parts of the world. The Wayuu community in Colombia is particularly affected by this, e.g. by coal mining for the German energy sector or global supply chains.
With our interactive workshops we want to raise awareness of these connections and jointly develop possible courses of action. Here you will find practical workshops, future projects and partners that can be used for lessons, extracurricular educational offers or group work.
