WITH SPOKEN WORD AGAINST RACISM

“Mit spoken Word gegen Rassismus” is a workshop of the Innitiative Perspektivenwechsel. More information here

The speakers* of the initiative Perspektivenwechsel offer an interactive history workshop for young people aged 12 – 21. Together we will travel back in time to Cameroon. The Central African country was a German colony for 35 years. Through comics, pictures as well as audio and video material, the participants learn about various strategies of anti-colonial resistance from Cameroon. It is urgent to talk with children about racist discrimination as early as possible. In this way, racist exclusion patterns are exposed and critically examined. Older pupils* reflect on their own position and responsibility.

Would you like to think like a billion-dollar company?

Have you ever wondered how billion dollar companies like Snapchat, Instagram and Google brainstorm to develop and bring their great new ideas to market?
Or imagine a future:

In which you print your clothes at home 3d?
Where drones have replaced liefarando?
Where there are no more streets and wars are only a bad dream?
Welcome to the concept of Design Thinking.
HERE WE ARE DESTROYING TODAY AND REVOLUTIONIZING THE FUTURE.
With Design Thinking you can change the world.

BUILD A BOTTLE WALL

Inspired by the wonderfully creative Earthship buildings in which people live self-sufficiently with nature’s resources, we build a wall of bottles and clay straw together. We will focus on what is fascinating to create from recycled materials and how to obtain them. At the same time we learn a very old technique, namely the environmentally friendly building with clay and straw, as it was traditionally used in many parts of the world and why it is experiencing a renaissance in Germany today. We stamp clay with our feet and build a wall with our hands. Cutting bottles with the bottle cutter can inspire you to do whatever you can with empty bottles.

During the practical workshop we get inputs from garden co-users again and again, e.g. a short excursion into ecological building with straw, stone, hemp, clay and wood. We will explore the risks of microplastics and together we will look for alternatives to plastic and other materials. What are the benefits of reusing used materials instead of buying new ones, and what global impact would a change in consumer behaviour have? The basic principles of permaculture will also be an important input, as the workshop will take place in the permaculture garden.

Africa Youth Day Gala

We are very happy to announce our closing event of the Africa Youth Days. On November 1st, the Africa Youth Day proclaimed by the African Union. More info will follow soon.

Global New Generation football academy in Gambia

ON Team — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:03:34 +0000

The Concept of Global New Generation football academy in Gambia is to bring together a group of children in the ages of 6-15 years and use sports as a method to develop their personal skills and to groom them into pawners and pillars of the society. Football or soccer as it it mostly known, develops leadership skills, critical thinking, teamwork, responsibility, accountability, focus and its very fun for those playing and those watching. through mentorship and proper training, the kids stand a chance to play in divisional league. At this level they are at advantage side of attending trails in deferent big clubs and different countries in Africa, Europe, Asia and America. This stage allows them to showcase their talent and make a living from it as a profession, in the mist of all of this we will be assisting the communities and helping families and individuals.

In order for us to achieve this goals we need to create a better enveroment and football atmosphere, but we cannot achieve all of this without best football/Soccer materials which the Academy is lacking at the moment. We are calling on donations and sponsors to join hands in achieving this goals. In collaboration with the Gambia football associations

Chicken Project/GNG Senegal

Sonja Prinz — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:05:55 +0000

The Global New Generation Senegal (GNG Senegal) was founded in 2011 and is a part of the Global New Generation network. The non-governmental-organization (NGO) has its domicile in Dakar, the Senegalese capital.

Development and education are the main focus of the NGO. The organization’s first projects take place in the village of Kounoune/Senegal, close to the seaport Rufisque.

The people of this region mainly live from agriculture and stockbreeding. Due to this, the financial situation of the population is weak, because they live people from hand to mouth. Their income mainly depends on the weather and is very insecure.

GNG Senegal has decided to support the local population.

One of the goals of GNG Senegal is the growth of the hospital of Kounoune. During the rainy season (mainly between August and October) floods cause many accidents as well as increasing malaria cases. In this period the hospital is overcrowded. The hospitals staff doesn’t receive any support from the government; they have to face the situation all by themselves. Since the hospital is the only one in the area, the neighboring villages Keur Ndiaya Lo, Keur Daouda Sarr as well as Ngalap send their patients to Kounoune.

The equipment in the hospital is very insufficient; mosquito nets, beds, bed covers, towels, medicaments and antiseptic are missing. Therefore even simple sicknesses are often not treated and the danger of infection is constantly rising, mainly for children. Especially the baby ward is susceptible.

A further objective is the support of the school in Kounoune. School attendance shall be guaranteed for all children. Unfortunately this is not always possible due to the financial situation of many families. Often the parents are not able to buy the basic needs for school such as pens, pencils, exercise books, slates and satchels etc.

Youth unemployment is a further problem in the region, often young men and women don’t have any perspective.

The young German photographer and roofer Ben Lützig started a hiking tour from Gerolstein (Germany) to Tarifa (Spain) on 8^th July 2012 in order to collect donations for GNG Senegal to support the village of Kounoune. During his “hike for people”, which took more than 4 months, Ben met many helpful and friendly people who supported his project. In the end, simple people donated 830€ for Kounoune.

Sustainability and personal responsibility are basic principles of Global New Generation. History taught us that the simple delivery of donations only creates dependence but is to no extent sustainable. This kind of dependence is no base for sustainable projects and furthermore does not create equal partnerships within the work of development policy.

That’s why GNG Senegal created a sustainable self-help project which guarantees the long-term support of the local hospital and school. At the same time, the project creates employment for young people.

Since Kounoune is located in an agricultural region, the GNG Senegal decided for a chicken project. Young chicken were bought and will be raised within a period of 45 days and then some of them will be sold and others kept for further breeding. The surplus will be used to buy the basic needs for the hospital and the school as described above.

Here are some first impressions:
