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

IJGD stands for International Youth Community Services. It is a non-profit organisation working in the field of international youth work and political education. Since 1949, IJGD has been active throughout Germany as an organisation independent from any religious or political party and recognised by the state authorities. The aim of IJGD is to forward young people's awareness of social conditions and to support the development of a feeling of social responsibility. The work of IJGD thus includes the promotion of international understanding and the reduction of prejudice between people of different nations, social backgrounds, religions and political ideas. We organise workcamps, international youth meetings, youth holiday periods in Germany, Europe and overseas as well as different trainings and seminars as further education.

In addition, IJGD is in charge of different long-term voluntary services such as the voluntary social service (FSJ), the voluntary ecological service (FÖJ) and the voluntary heritage service (FJD).

The Berlin part of IJGD, IJGD LV Berlin, has a specific focus on intercultural and inter-generation projects. In the field of the European Voluntary Service (EVS), IJGD Berlin is involved as a sending and hosting organisation. As part of our pilote project ‘voluntary services in socially deprived areas', ijgd Berlin has a growing number of EVS-placements in Berlin in socially deprived areas. This pilote project aims to further social inclusion, intercultural learning and to support small non-profit organisations and initiatives. As a sending organisation we send young German volunteers from Berlin and ist surroundings for longterm voluntary services to Europe in the frame work of EVS.

IJGD Berlin also organises midterm voluntary services in Africa, Asia and Latinamerika.

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.
