Children come into contact with the global challenges of our time. Empirical findings show that they have a variety of ideas and questions in this regard. The symposium will not only focus on approaches of civic education to deal with global sustainability issues with children, but will also specifically ask about the possibilities of political action and participation of primary school children. Together with activists, experts and practitioners, political and pedagogical approaches will be discussed to enable children to actively participate in shaping this world.

Within the framework of the symposium there will be offers for child care! Fun and games on the topic of "Global Learning" from 4-99 years.
