Research projects and field trips

Working in small intercultural groups, students will engage in topics such as children's rights and human rights, childhood and play, migration, ecological childhood, health and social inequality and epistemic injustice. Through field trips to educational projects and visits to important (former) ecological sites, students will discuss the local consequences of climate-damaging North-South cooperation and gain concrete insights into global interdependencies. Visits to memorial sites such as Elmina on the Gold Coast highlight the issue of globalisation from a historical perspective, focusing on enslavement, trade and colonisation, and post-colonial development.
