A key foundation for your work is the BMZ concept of “Development Education and Information Work.” BtE also provides support in planning and executing your events, connecting you with organizations that share your interests. Additionally, you'll receive comprehensive materials on Global Learning to enhance your educational initiatives.

For me, BtE means exchanging ideas, learning from each other, reporting on my own experiences and at the same time being inspired to think differently and always reflect critically on my own privileges.

Learn more ⟩Global Learning
“Global learning is an educational concept. It is an educational response to the challenges we face as a result of the globalization of all life processes. The aim of global learning is to find common ways to keep our world worth living in. Global learning establishes a connection between global contexts and our own lives and offers answers to the question “What does this have to do with me?”. Global learning highlights opportunities to actively work towards a fairer world. The focus is not only on the negative developments of globalization. Rather, the focus is on new ways of communication, better living conditions and cultural exchange.” Excerpt: Education meets development (2024), Global learning
