Education is one of the central pillars to achieve a sustainable social transformation. It is a platform that allows for a cross-generational dialogue to answer current and future questions. We believe that transformative learning can be achieved through critical (self-) reflection, which will lead to a change in the way we think and broaden our perspectives. Everybody should be encouraged and enabled to come up with creative and sustainable ideas and concepts which can then be developed and implemented.
