Educational Work
We, the Education Working Group—also known as the Utopia Education Lab—have developed a two-day Utopia workshop titled “A World Without Discrimination?” for secondary schools. It has already been successfully conducted at schools in Göttingen. We are constantly refining the workshop—so you can jump in and join us at any time :)) Whether it’s creative design, networking meetings with our partners, exchanges with school representatives, organizational tasks, fundraising, or the actual implementation of the workshops—there are many ways for you to get involved and help shape our work! The atmosphere at our meetings is warm and welcoming, and we also enjoy doing things together in our free time. For example, we’ll soon be spending a team weekend in the Harz Mountains. Our next goals are to reach more schools and develop a training program for facilitators so that new people can easily lead the workshop. We look forward to having you join us!
More details about our workshop concept: Young people should not only be informed but also empowered: in critical thinking, in acting in solidarity, and in the awareness that their voice matters. The goal is to promote political education in schools, encourage students to share their own perspectives and see themselves as part of a society based on solidarity and democracy . To this end, Part 1 offers various insights into discrimination; Part 2 provides an introduction to the topic of utopia as well as an imaginary journey to a just world; and Part 3 features various small-group projects (media, moral courage, school, fake news) to collaboratively design steps toward a just world.
