Fighting with The Poor

Single B-Certificate

(18 months)

What is Poverty? The geography of poverty today was not formed by infertility of soils, lack of materials or inferior ingenuity of people, but by a chain of historic events that take us back some 500 years.  Likewise the future will be determined by influences outside the realm of ordinary people.

Through this program we dare to look at the problems and big issues of our present time right in the eye, understanding the forces and politics at play, acknowledging the real consequences of the lack of human rights that are pervasive on a large part of our planet, not just seen from one place but on a global scale.  We dare to dream and envision a future for We the People and try to point to modern, lively, inclusive and sustainable ways and solutions.

We will study, investigate, travel and see with our own eyes absolute poverty and lack of human rights and we will realize what this means to those children in poverty, women in poverty, men in poverty... and we will search for sustainable solutions.  We will dig for the truth, we will dream, debate, hike, laugh, sweat and be challenged on all counts.  We will spread awareness, spreading our findings in speech, in writing, through artistic expression and in lively debate with people and by modern means of communication.
