In June 2019, we supported the encounter between theGSM und DSN<\/a>. In the Summer holidays<\/a> we organized an extracurricular youth encounter on SDG 1 No Poverty or what we called it:End Capitalism<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2020 Corona prevented both a school and an extracurricular encounter. The Extracurricular encounters<\/a> could at least take place in hybrid form.<\/p>\n

In 2021, a School<\/a> and an Extracurricular Encounter were planned in person and could only be carried out in hybrid form due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

In 2022 we hope to invite 10 Kenyan students to Bremen to work with GSM students on the connection between Colonialism and the Climate Crisis. An exchange of Skilled workers in Kenya and Germany is planned for spring and summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
