Our Educational Training Series for Civic Engagement

In a world that is increasingly characterized by polarization, misinformation and discrimination, civic engagement is becoming more and more important. We have developed a special educational series to prepare German teachers for these challenges and actively involve students.
This program is designed to help teachers integrate social and political issues into their lessons and motivate students to become actively involved in their community and civic life.

Our dynamic educational series, offered both online and in-person, provides teachers with practical strategies for lesson planning and facilitating inclusive, empathetic discussions in the classroom. Renowned experts from various fields will share their knowledge and provide practical guidance. We will also provide comprehensive teaching resources to help teachers and students integrate important social and political conversations into their everyday lives.

Join us to promote a more engaged and informed society. The educational series is under development and future training opportunities on various social and political engagement topics will be announced soon.
