Children needs to be well informed about globalization - so they have better possibilities in our globalized future. To be open in front of people from other countries, other cultures, other religions - that's what german (and european) authorities demands. We are trying to support teachers to realize this: with thematic offers. A school day, for exemple, with our freelancer from Peru shows to the children the former and contemporary life in this region, explains the origin and the big importance of the potato. Or a drum workshop with a musician from Ghana, who tells about his life as child of a cocoa planter o shows the water situation in Ghana's towns and rural areas - children like it and never will forget how Kofi was carrying a bucket of water on his head when he was a small boy. And the conclusion, that water is valuable like gold, is not so far - as well as the idea to have a look on the own water using...

    Ich bin mein ganzes Berufsleben hindurch Erzieherin und Lehrerin gewesen: in einem Heim für schwererziehbare Jugendliche Ende der 50er Jahre, dann Lehrerin in einer Dorfschule in der Oberlausitz. Später, nach einem Fernstudium der Sonderpädagogik, bis zur Rente Lehrerin in Schulen für Lernbehinderte in Dresden und Berlin. Weil ich gesehen habe, wie wichtig es ist, Kinder beim Lernen zu begleiten, habe ich dann noch einige Zeit Nachhilfe gegeben. Lehrerinnen und Lehrer sind heute mit Problemen konfrontiert, die es zu meiner aktiven Zeit nicht oder weniger gab. Dabei wird aber von ihnen gefordert, für alles Lösungen zu haben, die Dinge auszubügeln, die in den Elternhäusern aus welchem Grund auch immer versäumt werden. So finde ich, daß Projekte wie dieses hier auch die Lehrer bei ihrer Aufgabe unterstützen können, die Schüler zu weltoffenen, denkenden und für die Zukunft reifen Menschen zu erziehen. Kommt jemand von außerhalb der Schule, finden das Kinder und Jugendliche auf alle Fälle spannend. Ganz besonders, wenn der Gast in Bolivien, Ghana oder Indien aufgewachsen ist und aus eigener Erfahrung berichten kann. Ich weiß, daß der junge Schauspieler aus dem bolivianischen Teatro Trono, den ich gut kenne und der Musiker aus Ghana, bei dem ich einen Trommelworkshop mitgemacht habe in diesem Projekt als Honorarkräfte mitarbeiten und mit vielen eigenen Ideen die Bildungsarbeit des Trägervereins mitprägen und unterstützen, die Kinder begeistert sind von ihren Workshops und denen anderer Leute aus Peru, Indien oder Nigeria. Manche Ergebnisse habe ich auch gesehen - z.B. das Theaterstück über Kinder in verschiedenen Ländern, das eine kleine Gruppe der Berliner Peter-Witte-Schule im vergangenen Jahr mit "ihrem" bolivianischen Regisseur über einige Monate erarbeitet hat. Wunderbar, wie da Informationen kreativ umgesetzt wurden! Auch deshalb möchte ich für dieses Projekt werben.

    Hallo, vielen Dank für das Dankeschön an Frau Bendig. Wichtig wäre für unsere Arbeit, dass das Danke offiziell an mt-g gerichtet wird. Frau Bendig steht nur stellvertrend dafür, nicht das dieses hinterher falsch verstanden wird. Etwas kompliziert, aber Unternehmen können nicht anders spenden als über eine Person. Der Dank müsste aber ans Unternehmen gehen. Danke I.A. Katja Eifler
