Hi, my name is Anke. I‘m professor of

the geography

education and I currently

work at Justus-Liebig-University in

Giessen. I coordinate the German activities of the project.

I’m supported by a team of very engaged young people,

who look at the world from quite different perspectives.

Why did I join?

It‘s great to work with great people

But also because my student teachers who have just left school think that for example people in Northern Togo…

• do not need electrical power because they have to solve their hunger problem first,

• cannot install wind power plants as they do not know how to operate them

• do not need windmills as they have no electrical power

• cannot operate windmills as there is no wind in the warmer regions

• live a life in unity with nature that Europeans should not interfere with

…or as a friend of mine from Togo says:

„They still have a long way to go to meet the real world.“

What I am hoping for

That teachers and students start wondering…

…whether things are what they seem to be

…whether their causalities make sense
