German-Russian Summer School on Climate Change From 7th-30th August SCI Germany will be organising a German-Russian summer school on the subject of climate change. Topics to be discussed include, among others:
- what are the causes and affects of climate change?
- what can I, as an individual, or my organisation, do, in order to prevent climate change?
- how can I, or my organisation, influence political decision-makers in this field?
The first week of the school will be devoted to an inter-active series of workshops, keynote lectures and project visits, in order to exchange ideas & experiences among participants. Afterwards the group will be divided in order to support the work of different grassroot ecological projects in different parts of Germany.
The youth exchange is being run with financial support from the German-Russian Youth Foundation in Hamburg.
As our large-scale project, Youth Transcending New Frontiers, will shortly be ending- and without wishing to pre-empt the results of the final evaluation conference - it might be an appropriate time to make a short, balanced assessment of what we have all achieved together during these last 3 years.

From 27th July - 17 August, with the financial support of the European Union, SCI Germany has educated & trained 21 Peace Messengers from 13 different countries.

They included diverse games, exercises, group-plays, theoretical discussion and confrontations with such issues as the roots of racism, stereotypes, intercultural conflicts, peaceful conflict transformation etc. Details...
