In the course we deal with the following issues: What kind of stories do we tell in our media, sciences and in daily life, which fix certain gender roles? Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) is direct, structural or cultural, hence it is partially invisible. We talked about history and current facts on SBVG as much as about its resistances.

The demand of the school was to work on the theme &#8216;Fairy Tales&#8217;. Our aim was to enable the students to work independently while accompanying their decision-making processes. The main difficulty was to bring together the very different interests of the students. The introduction of a &#8216;self-organized dialogue&#8217;, was helpful to target this difficulty where every opinion was appreciated and where the students themselves reminded each other to be more attentive and considerate. We are very happy about the positive feedback by the teachers and the students. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<hr \/>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwcmaastricht.nl\/education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-168 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/globaldeepnetwork.org\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2015\/05\/UWC-web.jpg\" alt=\"UWC-web\" width=\"220\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><strong>Training for Creative Project Management<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif\"><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">From September 9th to 10th 2016 DEEP Germany led a creative project management training for students of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwcmaastricht.nl\/education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">United World College Maastricht<\/a><\/strong>, the Netherlands. The goal of this project was to help tomorrow&#8217;s social innovators to make their sustainable projects successful. For this purpose we utilized the method of &#8216;Dragon Dreaming&#8217;, a holistic tool to make dreams come true by integrating theory and practice as well as the individual and the community.
