New perspectives through global networking in action

The project connects initiatives, activists, organizations, NGOs, and other actors from Schleswig-Holstein with civil society groups and organizations from various regions in Latin America.

We identified partners working on shared topics and facilitated virtual collaboration, traveled to Latin America to meet people on the ground and gain insights into different regions, and organized monthly networking meetings. Later, 35 people from Latin America and Germany came together in Schleswig-Holstein for a Spring School to deepen their partnerships and present the results of their joint work.

By 2025, the projects that emerged from these collaborations will be further developed and made accessible to a wider audience. Existing partnerships will be strengthened with the aim of establishing a lasting, sustainable network.

The overarching goal is to improve the mutual perceptions — the “images” — we have of one another.

The participants will work on relevant global issues of our time, such as human rights and the constitution, agroecology and climate-friendly nutrition, hunger or discrimination against minorities.

The project is carried out by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Schleswig-Holstein e.V. (eng.: Heinrich Böll Foundation SH) and the Bündnis Eine Welt Schleswig-Holstein e.V. (eng.: Alliance one World SH).
