mittendrin

"mittendrin" ("right in the middle of it") is a workshop offer for schools and for the extracurricular youth education in the sense of the radicalization prevention on topics such as politics and religion, diversity acceptance, democratic cohabitation.

With media-based methods and joint media production, we are approaching current topics in our workshops where the media play a major role: the value and benefits of our democracy, life in diversity, dealing with prejudice and discrimination, current extremist tendencies and young people on the way to radicalization.

Target group: Schoolchildren, young people 13 years and older - teachers, youth workers

Our goals are the promotion of (media) criticism, the understanding of democracy, diversity acceptance, self-efficacy and the strengthening of social, communicative and creative competences, of information and participation competence.
