The DEFY project offers spaces for reflection on the following questions:
- What does education look like in times of complex social and ecological crises?
- How can we allow feelings and emotions, (endure) them together and expand educational spaces with this focus?
The project explores complex knowledge, personal entanglement, resilience and collective responses – based on the “Depth Education” approach.
The target group consists of practitioners in education and multipliers.
News from the project:
- Workshop “Emotional depth meets questions about the future” on 15.11.2025 at Welthaus in Stuttgart
For people who work with young people in youth or educational work to discuss climate and justice.
