The Project

deals with the awareness of global crisis in European adult training. There are indications to believe that the awareness of global crises is based on cultural constructions. The ideas of "world", "end of the world", "salvation of the world" are influenced by old narratives, than the tackling of global crises could be seen as an intercultural task.

The learners will observe the perception of the global crisis phenomena (for example: change of climate) in their country and the international efforts to tackle the crisis (for example: through world-conferences, concepts of sustainable developement, millennium-targets). The observed discussions are going to be compared according to a defined concept. Especially interesting could be the comparisons between societies with protestantic, catholic, orthodox or muslim background.

The knowledge gained will finally be transferred in a game: The spaceship earth is caught in a problem. The multicultural crew (portrayed in likeness of the European society) tries to analyse the problem, understand the situation and to deal with it together.

As a result, a collection of materials, better a text for a play or a musical shall be created.

The project is concepted as a Learning-partnership within the EU - Programm "Socrates / Grundtvig". The project period is September 2005 - August 2007
