education for global citizenship New ways to learn for our future International School and NGO-Network

First statement... A changing world... The young people of today will grow up to be the citizens of the future: but what that future holds for them ist not yet clear.

They are concerned about the destruction of the rainforests, that many people in the world go hungry, that conflict affects the lives of people in both, North and South.
