At the Educational Centre “Wannsee Forum” in Berlin, Germany, student members of the school parliament of the Bettina von Arnim school (BvA) are meeting for an intensive retreat on political education. Explority is part of the program, discussing the Sustainable Development Goals with a focus and goal 16: strong institutions.

The program includes a live contact via Internet to Sierra Leone, where the students learn about challenges for the youth and student participation in the Global South. They discuss their own role and opportunities for democratic participation in the German educational system and their individual responsibility for more global fairness.

Part of the program is furthermore media education which will be used for campaigning own rights and interests in the context of empowering the youth for sustainable development. Also the students get involved in using serious games as a method for transporting knowledge in regards of the SDG’s. Tune in here for further messages and results of the students from the BvA!
