In this edition, we speak with the director of VHS Göppingen, Jürgen Morasch, who shares highlights from his career and reflections on cross-cultural encounters. The VHS (Volkshochschule) focuses on accessible and affordable adult education, offering community-oriented courses that span an incredibly diverse range of subjects. It’s an inclusive platform where people of all ages, educational backgrounds, and social standings can gain knowledge and skills to enrich their personal and professional lives. 💡📚 #LifelongLearning #CommunityEducation

From media to journalism, theater, and even a stint in radio, Jürgen Morasch describes himself as a generalist—a modern-day Renaissance man fueled by curiosity. His passion for leading an institution like VHS, with its vast breadth of offerings, feels like a perfect match. 🎭📻 #Polymath #CuriosityDriven

VHS courses cover everything from language learning, vocational training, and IT to arts, health, culture, and civic education. They also promote social cohesion through programs like German language courses for immigrants and initiatives on intercultural understanding. As Jürgen puts it, VHS embodies the ethos of "each one teach one," fostering a culture of sharing and inclusion. 🌍🤝 #Integration #EachOneTeachOne

🎙 On This Week's Show: Turning the Tables!

Lisa takes the lead, turning the spotlight on me as she asks all the questions about the Intercultural Weeks Göppingen!

We explore this year's motto, “Neue Räume” (New Spaces), diving into the goals and philosophy behind IKW Göppingen. Along the way, we unpack the term "code-switching" and its significance in intercultural communication.

With over 25 diverse events—including book readings, workshops, dance parties, films, concerts, art exhibits and performances—there’s something for everyone. While the main program runs through September and October, additional events are thoughtfully scattered throughout the year.

Thanks to the dedication of many partners, planning for the 2025 program is already in full swing. Potential partners are warmly encouraged to get in touch with Angeline directly to join this exciting journey!

Marisa Desales talks with us today about her upcycling art and the philosophy behind her creative process. Colorful and multifaceted, she takes discarded objects and transforms them into something new.

Friso Fischer, der Sprecher des Jugendrates von Göppingen und Schülervertreter des Freihofgymnasiums, ist unser Gast in unserer neuesten Sendung, während er uns durch das Ereignis führt, das vor dem Rathaus im Rahmen der Aktion "Schule ohne Rassismus" stattgefunden hat. Im Rahmen der Internationalen Wochen gegen Rassismus hatten die mitmachenden Schulen in Göppingen zum Aktionstag aufgerufen. Das Netzwerk "Schule ohne Rassismus, Schule mit Courage" unter dem Motto "Vielfalt feiern" wurde von Kersten Stüven organisiert und von der Stadt Göppingen sowie sieben teilnehmenden Schulen unterstützt.

Kaufmännische Schule Göppingen, Freihof-Gymnasium, Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium, Mörike-Gymnasium, POLIGENIUS Private Schule , Walther-Hensel-Schule,Pestalozzischule

Unter anderem gab es Tanzbeiträge von Tanzwerk und verschiedene musikalische Darbietungen.

Eine Aktion, die deutlich die Vielfalt in den folgenden Sprachen zeigt: Philippinisch, Mazedonisch, Rumänisch, Aramäisch, Albanisch, Ukrainisch, Chinesisch, Arabisch, Russisch, Türkisch, Französisch, Englisch und Deutsch. Der Satz lautet: "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar." Der allererste Satz im allerersten Artikel des Grundgesetzes.

Eine weitere Aktion mit A4-Blätter haben die Schuler*innen gemacht. Mit blaue, grüne, gelbe, rote, orange Blätter mit „SOR“ – (Schule ohne Rassismus) und „SMC“-(Schule mit Courage) buchstabiert.

OB Alex Maier unterstützte das Event mit einer Rede und ermutigte die Jugend, ihre Aktionen fortzusetzen, indem er betonte, dass sie ihren älteren Mitmenschen in gewisser Weise voraus sind.

Mamadou Mbodji, Vice President of Nature Friends International and President of the African Nature Friends, joins us to discuss climate justice. Among other topics, he speaks about the mangrove reforestation efforts in Senegal. These efforts have been a successful cooperative project between Senegal, Gambia, and the Nature Friends. Ending his European tour, he presents the topic of "Frieden geht nur Global - Klimagerechtigkeit und Solidarität" as a guest of the Göppingen chapter.

The region has been experiencing devastating consequences from global warming. Strengthening the mangrove population through cooperation and fundraising makes a significant contribution to local climate protection. Positive effects include protected shores and coasts from erosion and high waters, as well as improved biodiversity conservation.

African countries contribute to less than four percent of global greenhouse gas emissions; however, they bear the most dramatic consequences, leading to food scarcity and major ecological consequences.Even Mount Kilimanjaro is melting, and conflicts are erupting due to food scarcity.

What responsibility do the countries of the global North bear? What efforts need to be made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the South? What is the responsibility and financial burden towards greater climate justice? How can global sustainability occur?

Primary sector: agriculture, fishing, breeding, is a source of livelihood for more than 60% of the population, which is in part dependent on rain that is becoming more variable, causing food insecurity.

Solution: Mitigation and adaptation are crucial. Drastic reduction, seasonal, regional, and fair products are essential. Finding partnerships and taking personal responsibility are key. Civil society needs to take the lead and cannot wait for governments to act alone. Naturfreunde Göppingen recently celebrated their 100-year anniversary.

Successes: Since 2013, planting mangoes, lemons, oranges, guava, and local trees has been ongoing."
