As Development Education Centre we aim to raise awareness of peace and environment related issues through information and education.

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.

European Association for the Defense of Human Rights

We are a publishing house consisting of teachers publishing for teachers with the objective of helping with problems concerning school and youth work, e.g.:

• Implementing curricula into everyday teaching. With concise and well organised material for further education, practical experience and training in methodology, we hope to provide complementary information     that is not covered by traditional school-books
• Excessive workload: By providing school material that can be implemented instantly, we try to make sure teaching and engaging in youth work remains feasible
• Problems affecting schools from the outside, like violence or lack of prospects

We develop feasible concepts for the benefit of all those involved.
