The project is implemented in the shape of a two-day workshop at Berlin high
schools with the aim of promoting awareness of global interrelations among
students.
The workshop is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were
explained in more detail through diverse pedagogical tools such as a memory
game. Also it is a starting point to compare and analyse, which are the
development challenges the countries presented face. This year, a "Latin
America Special" awaited the schools.
In the form of group and partner work, learning games such as Tabu or Kahoot
and self-designed presentations, our trainers brought the culture of Brazil and
Argentina closer to the students. Candela's focus was on "No Poverty"
(SDG 1), "Gender Equality" (SDG 5) and "Decent work and Economic
growth" (SDG 8) within Argentina. She talked about history, inflation and
public debt in Argentina and how Argentineans deal with it. She also
strived to open up the discussion in gender topics and find the causes and
consequences that this leaves behind.
Norberto, on the other hand, talked about “Sustainable Consumption and Production” (SDG 12) and climate action measures (SDG 13) in Brazil. Specifically, he talked about illegal wood, soy and meat exports from the Amazon and the consequences for the climate and the indigenous population. Another topic Norberto worked on were the consequences of climate change using the example of hydropower plants (dams).
Bridging Cultures motivated the students to take the perspective of people from Argentina and Brazil, to deal with the presented challenges and to design solutions on their own, which were presented and discussed in a final presentation.
The motto this year is - Bridging Cultures: 3 trainers, 3 countries; all about the SDGs. Thus, there is still one speaker missing. In the end of October the second block will follow and Alejandra Moreno from Colombia and will complete the trio of speakers.
We have another surprise for you this year!
"Spoons4Change" - a global cooking evening with the speakers and typical dishes from their home countries will be taking place on October 25th in Kreuzberg.
Reach us if you want to be part of it!
This Project was funded by the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises and Engagement Global with funds of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
