Description of the Organization

The study group of Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke (one world-federal networks) in Germany inc. (agl) is the nationwide umbrella organization of 16 Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke (one world-federal networks) supports its members in their engagement of a future-oriented global development which is based on the principles of social justice, ecological lastingness, democracy and participation. agl reaches through its member's associations nationwide about 10,000 developing-political groups and associations. agl supports the educational, information and project work of its members. It links up activities and campaigns to topical central topics of interest and organises the exchange and flow of information between the federal networks by communication offers, advanced training and interlinking meetings. One World groups, federal networks and agl form together the structure within whose campaigns, plans, information and educational attempts from the developing-political area to transporting down in regional and local connections, positions and activities of the regional and local initiatives at regional state and national level are discussed. With our actions and campaigns we have asked governments and the Landtag (federal state parliament), the Federal Government, Bundestag (Lower House of Parliament) during the last years over and over again to go outside the box and into the direction of a fair and sustainable development. We support Eine Welt-Politik (one-world politics) as a cross-cutting task of all political areas of the Federal Government and the State Government. We are contacts for north south questions for the respective state
governments and other social groups.

  • We get on as a forum for Eine Welt-political discussions.
  • We offer services for our members, for local initiatives and disseminators.
  • We get on as a megaphone of underprivileged sections of the population especially in the countries of the south.

By public-relations actions in the area of the developing-political domestic work we sensitize the people for world questions and motivate for behavioral changes in personal and political area.

Description of the Organization

The W3_ is an educational and cultural center around global justice. It offers a platform for encounters and exchange and, with its diverse program of events, encourages critical questioning of social conditions. It invites to inspiration, to experience, to reflection and to common action for a global and local justice.

With lectures, workshops, conferences, symposia, readings, performances as well as film screenings and actions, W3_ establishes the connection between local politics and global developments in series of events, projects as well as individual and cooperative events and motivates people to get involved. With dialogue-oriented/participative formats such as performances and actions in public space, spontaneous interactions with residents of the district are realized, which actively call for participation.

It is important to W3_ to focus on less present voices and alternative perspectives, to make them audible and visible, and to think and link local and global dimensions together. The goal is always to make people think, to provide inspiration and ideas for their own everyday lives, and to show options for action.

Description of the Organization

The association "Schulwälder für Westafrika e. V." (School Forests for West Africa) - together with the "Youth and Environment Club" in Ghana - works for the preservation of the rainforest and for a climate-friendly and healthy environment. In order to inspire pupils in Germany and Ghana for nature and its protection, the association arranges partner schools between the two countries. In this way, pupils and teachers from Germany and Ghana can work together for the forest/rainforest. Practical action promotes sustainability education and a sense of responsibility for people in other countries. In addition, pupils learn to dedicate themselves to a project in the long term. While pupils in Ghana plant and maintain trees for shady places in their schoolyards with the motto "solar lamps/ football as an incentive for tree planting", pupils in Germany start tree planting in different places. In connection with global learning, the pupils can exchange information about the living conditions in the respective other country, e.g. these topics: Climate protection (tree planting/forestation of the forest or rainforest/tree nursery), biodiversity (animals and plants), energy (solar lamps with the possibility of charging the mobile phone), health and poverty (solar lamps instead of paraffin lamps), education (computer centre in Nyakrom, environmental education materials for primary schools), climate (including seasons), consumption of resources (trees as firewood), conservation of resources (chains made of recycled paper), consumption (clothing, food and housing), children's rights.
