This page is under construction and due to be updated with lots of really cool stuff!!

 


Education
If one wants to change something, for himself or for others, he must know how first

Often we dont learn what you need in school or university, and to often we dont have the money or the right certificate to go for our dream education

But: we can learn even better withour boring profs and marking/exam pressure!

What possibilities are there - thats what we wanna discuss about with you


Politics
Elections dont help anything any more.
Nobody really understands EU-politics.
Foreign fellowmen are deported almost arbitrarily
and the surveillance cameras in your city are getting more and more

Do you feel helpless? Powerless? Unable to do something?

What chances do we have to take part in politics without despairing or getting bored?

Thats what we wanna ask you!


Living culture
Our daily life is shaped by stress, egoism and fights - and though we already have everything we need to survive, sometimes we ask ourselfes if it wouldnt have been better to be born in a poorer, but happier country.

Technics and media create needs we actually dont even have
and ignore our real needs, consequences can be e.g anorexia, drug addiction or depressions.

That we dont have to become 'drop out-hippies' to live in peace (in german "peacig"),
thats what we wanna show here

Lets talk about love and relationships and how they could be
about grandmas in housing projects, about street art, and really cool parties!

Or stop talking and we go and rock da streets!!!

 

Economy
On one side of the world children are starving, and on the other side we throw away tons of food every day!

We go to the supermarket and invest our money in atomic power plants, destruction and oppression-when we just wanted to drink a refreshing lemonade!

Organic and fairtrade labels dont seem so trustworthy, and when we see the prices of these products, we wanna forget our idealism and run away!

What is the way out of this crisis?

 

Ecology
This is about what your breakfast milk's got to do with the destruction of your habitat, the rainforest and your backyard!
If public local transit should be for free
How to make normal healthy herbal toothpaste
What 'GMO' means or 'Permaculture'
and if you would like to live in a tree house with WLAN!

how can a world look like in which we live ecologically and still be mobile, free and technically networked?

ah yeah, and lets go plant a roof!


Internet, global networks and other technic stories

The whole world is watching You Tube
We are connected with each other, thanks to myspace!

Can a technic needing lots of energy -the internet- bring positive changes in the world? and how?

This will be about web 2.0, the future of internet as you please
About the open source movement
About carsharing networks and couchsurfing
And other new really "social" networks
