Description of the Organization

‘Bread for the World’ has been the relief organisation of the Protestant Churches in Germany since 1959. Every year, it promotes more than 1,000 projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. ‘Bread for the World’ assists partner organisations in ‘community capacity building’. ‘Bread for the World’ stands up for the rights of people who are disadvantaged and marginalised in the globalised world. Its motto is ‘Justice for the Poor’.

For many years, ‘Bread for the World’ has focused on global education in its educational work as well. Teachers are invited to join the Arbeitskreis Pädagogik (working group for education). At the annual meetings, new classes focusing on global education are developed.

The journal Global Lernen (learning globally) is published every four months and is also available online at www.brot-fuer-die-welt.de/global-lernen/. Each issue deals with a topic related to development policy and contains didactic advice and suggestions for teaching in upper secondary education. Previous issues dealt with the global financial crisis, nuclear weapons and development cooperation.

In addition, the ‘Bread for the World’ staff organises events and seminars with specialists from partner countries, creates teaching materials, holds competitions and organises school and youth campaigns – including the campaign ‘Fair Play for Fair Life’ and the nutrition campaign Niemand isst für sich allein (nobody is/eats on their own) (www.brot-fuer-die-welt.de/ernaehrung). Furthermore, ‘Bread for the World’ offers further training of teachers and classroom visits.

Description of the Organization

The department of media and communication is a joint facility of the Catholic and Lutheran Churches that provides educational media and audio-visual devices on a rental basis and offers other services related to media education. Our services are primarily, but not exclusively, directed towards educators who work in parishes, schools or in adult education in the Munich-Freising archdiocese and the Lutheran district office in Munich.

Our rental service includes 16-mm films, videos, DVDs, slides, transparencies and books; all media are included in the printed catalogue or in the online version of our database. The services we offer to our customers include: consultation in person or over the phone, information on new acquisitions at regular intervals, providing opportunities to browse through our materials.

Our second main focus is on involvement in media and communication education, which is accomplished through training courses, lectures, and other events for teachers in adult education and school teachers. The aims of these activities are:

  1. teaching people to use multimedia for instructional purposes,
  2. raising awareness for the importance of communication processes, and
  3. reflecting on these matters within the context of a theology of communication.

The results of our efforts find their way into the muk publication series (ISSN 1416-4244), which we are continuously expanding; the magazine includes a wide range of topics from suggestions for the practical work to theorizing on basic principles.

In reference to our aims and services our motto is: "We teach literature - and the literature of our age is the media." (John Foley, president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications)
