Coronavirus memes are spreading across the online-world right now and some Facebook feeds are filled up. But what are memes? And how can memes be used in educational work at school, in youth work or social media?

We discovered this topic together with the webinar participants.

During the webinar we presented basic observations on this phenomenon. What are the functions of memy? How can we express our opinions through us? We created our own moths, but also discovered what role they can play in the fight against hate speech. For us, it is clear that moths can play a democratic role and support positive messages by countering hate speech.

On 5-7 March, in Krzyżowa, the second meeting of 16 teachers of pre-school education from the Lower Silesia Voivodeship who take part in global education training took place. The training is implemented as part of the three-year project "Our Common World - Global Education for Children", co-financed by the Polish Development Cooperation Programme of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

For those interested in the subject of global education, we recommend the project's website: http://edukacjaglobalna.krzyzowa.org.pl , from which you can download the scenarios developed by the training participants, read the list of inspiring books for the youngest and download a set of educational photos for kindergartens to conduct global education.

At the end of January we started the third module of the project "Our common world - global education of children", co-financed by the Polish Cooperation Programme of The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This year's and last edition of the three-year project includes:

  • training for teachers of early childhood education - recruitment completed,
  • training for primary school teachers - open recruitment,
  • training for advanced influenza, which has already completed basic training in global education - open recruitment,
  • training for students of the Faculty of Pedagogy of the University of Warsaw - recruitment completed

    The aim of the first training block called "Global Education Content and Ethics", which took place on 30.01-01.02.2020, was:
  • to acquaint the participants with the issues of global education and ways of its implementation in Poland,
  • reflecting on the ethics of global education in accordance with the Code on Images and News for the countries of the South,
  • reflecting on one's own attitudes and motivation to implement EG in working with children.

Das NETTZ - Die Vernetzungsstelle gegen Hate Speech writes about the project "Creating Space: A Digital Future with Ethics in Mind Training for multipliers* of formal and non-formal educational work", which took place in December 2019 in Kreisau. The seminar was attended by educators from Germany, Poland and Ukraine.

Project "Creating Space: A Digital Future with Ethics in Mind" won the NETTZ-Förderpreis 2019.

In an interview Charlotte Lohmann ( educational specialist IJBS Stiftung Kreisau) tells us what it is all about.
