The Society for Development Cooperation in Solidarity Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania e. V. (GSE), as the state agency for global learning in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is a provider of development education in schools and day care centres in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Using target group and experience-oriented methods, the topics of Global Learning / Education for Sustainable Development are discussed with children and conclusions are drawn about the everyday lives of girls and boys. In addition to the work with children in kindergartens and primary schools, we offer further training for educators (elementary and primary level), in which we present approaches and methods of Global Learning, which the participants can later use in their educational work and thus help to establish development policy topics in the educational work with children. Every year, the GSE participates in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Development Days with its own projects.

The non-profit association "Bund für Bildung" translates socially relevant issues into educational projects. The focus is on issues of inclusion, participation and democracy.

Action Courage was founded in 1992 by citizens' initiatives, human rights groups, organizations and individuals from all social areas and political parties as an answer to the violent racism in the German cities of Moelln, Solingen, Hoyerswerda and Rostock.

Only if we are open us to the different worlds can we understand our own world and will we be able to live peacefully with each other.

What we do:

• We provide information and do educational and public relations work
