Fields of Action

Our fields of action

Fields of action are areas in which an organization or association is active and pursues goals. Next Level e.V. has three main fields of action in which it is active: ecological education, transcultural education and economic education. In these areas, we are increasingly committed to a sustainable, inclusive and just society and support young people through various educational programs and projects.

 

Ecological education

What is ecological education?

Understanding the world around us in all its complexity and wealth of possibilities is a great and at the same time desirable challenge for us humans. Short-sighted and reckless actions are changing our living environment so quickly and dramatically that neither current nor long-term consequences are foreseeable. A growing world population with an increasing demand for resources calls for a general rethink of how we treat our planet and all its living creatures. We are convinced of this. That is why we support young people in developing new perspectives and sustainable solutions in order to promote regenerative strategies in ecological management.

Transcultural education

What is transcultural education?
In a globalized world, solutions cannot be thought of in terms of borders. Living and thinking together in solidarity is necessary to bring about sustainable change. To this end, it is important to develop an understanding of individual requirements instead of simply adopting generalizations and prejudices. Transcultural education should sensitize people to the crucial aspects of living together. It focuses on a person’s character, which is much more important than their “original origin”. In our learning modules, we want to create the space to get to know oneself better. In this way, we support reflection on one’s own – not only culturally influenced – ways of acting. Self-understanding is an important step in promoting mutual acceptance and interest in the actions of others. All of this is necessary for understanding interpersonal encounters around the world – as well as for sustainable coexistence.

Economic education

What does economic education mean?

How does an idea become a company? What will companies look like in the future? Rapidly advancing digitalization and the associated shift towards fully automated machine processes in services, manufacturing and the production of goods are a tangible certainty today. Unfortunately, an equally rapid rethinking of social and entrepreneurial values and a fundamental reassessment of economic strategies and goals is not yet a reality. In the field of economic education, we want to encourage, guide and accompany young adults to realize new entrepreneurial approaches. Through empowerment and skills development, we want to enable them to actively shape and improve the world and thus create structures in which the objectives of their ideas are sustainable.
