English Breakfast - Das interkulturelle Morgenmagazin

In this edition, we speak with the director of VHS Göppingen, Jürgen Morasch, who shares highlights from his career and reflections on cross-cultural encounters. The VHS (Volkshochschule) focuses on accessible and affordable adult education, offering community-oriented courses that span an incredibly diverse range of subjects. It’s an inclusive platform where people of all ages, educational backgrounds, and social standings can gain knowledge and skills to enrich their personal and professional lives. 💡📚 #LifelongLearning #CommunityEducationFrom media to journalism, theater, and even a stint in radio, Jürgen Morasch describes himself as a generalist—a modern-day Renaissance man fueled by curiosity. His passion for leading an institution like VHS, with its vast breadth of offerings, feels like a perfect match. 🎭📻 #Polymath #CuriosityDrivenVHS courses cover everything from language learning, vocational training, and IT to arts, health, culture, and civic education. They also promote social cohesion through programs like German language courses for immigrants and initiatives on intercultural understanding. As Jürgen puts it, VHS embodies the ethos of "each one teach one," fostering a culture of sharing and inclusion. 🌍🤝 #Integration #EachOneTeachOne! ✨ #AccessibleLearning #InclusiveEducation👇🏽 LINKS BELOW 👇🏽 🎧Instagram: angelines_studioFacebook: English BreakfastRadio show: English BreakfastWebpage:  English Breakfast http://angeline.de/PODCAST CHANNELS:Spotify Apple Podcasts Amazon Music Google PodcastGUEST LINKS: Instagram: vhs_goeppingen schurwaldFacebook: vhs GöppingenWebpage: vhs-goeppingen.de

Friso Fischer, der Sprecher des Jugendrates von Göppingen und Schülervertreter des Freihofgymnasiums, ist unser Gast in unserer neuesten Sendung, während er uns durch das Ereignis führt, das vor dem Rathaus im Rahmen der Aktion "Schule ohne Rassismus" stattgefunden hat. Im Rahmen der Internationalen Wochen gegen Rassismus hatten die mitmachenden Schulen in Göppingen zum Aktionstag aufgerufen.

Mamadou Mbodji, Vice President of Nature Friends International and President of the African Nature Friends, joins us to discuss climate justice. Among other topics, he speaks about the mangrove reforestation efforts in Senegal. These efforts have been a successful cooperative project between Senegal, Gambia, and the Nature Friends. Ending his European tour, he presents the topic of "Frieden geht nur Global - Klimagerechtigkeit und Solidarität" as a guest of the Göppingen chapter.The region has been experiencing devastating consequences from global warming. Strengthening the mangrove population through cooperation and fundraising makes a significant contribution to local climate protection. Positive effects include protected shores and coasts from erosion and high waters, as well as improved biodiversity conservation.African countries contribute to less than four percent of global greenhouse gas emissions; however, they bear the most dramatic consequences, leading to food scarcity and major ecological consequences.Even Mount Kilimanjaro is melting, and conflicts are erupting due to food scarcity.What responsibility do the countries of the global North bear? What efforts need to be made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the South? What is the responsibility and financial burden towards greater climate justice? How can global sustainability occur?Primary sector: agriculture, fishing, breeding, is a source of livelihood for more than 60% of the population, which is in part dependent on rain that is becoming more variable, causing food insecurity.Solution: Mitigation and adaptation are crucial. Drastic reduction, seasonal, regional, and fair products are essential. Finding partnerships and taking personal responsibility are key. Civil society needs to take the lead and cannot wait for governments to act alone. Naturfreunde Göppingen recently celebrated their 100-year anniversary.Successes: Since 2013, planting mangoes, lemons, oranges, guava, and local trees has been ongoing."👇🏽 LINKS BELOW 👇🏽 🎧Instagram: angelines_studioFacebook: English BreakfastRadio show: English BreakfastMy webpage:  English Breakfast http://angeline.de/PODCAST CHANNELS: Spotify Apple Podcasts Amazon Music Google PodcastGUEST LINKS: More Info:https://www.naturfreunde-gp.de/veranstaltungenhttps://www.naturfreunde.de/tag/baden-wuerttembergFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamadou.mbodji.5/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naturfreunde_goeppingen/

In this show we hear about the Art Mob event at the reopening of the Chapel Frabrik für Kunst und Kultur.Background: The Chapel-Krypta is an important landmark in the Göppingen cultural scene, dating back to the ealier 20th centrury.Originally build in 1926 as a pleace of workshop with its modernist syle designed by architect Paul Smitthenner.In the early 2000s the Chapel, originally used by US miliary personnel near the base, was repurposed by the alternative artist scene run by volunteers.In 2014 the future of the building and its use was uncertain. Estimated renovation costs to adhere to fire regulations were unatainable. Funding drives with community donations as well as support from local authorities, finally resulted in restoring the building.After several years of renovation, the Chapel opened it doors to the public in May 2017 thanks to a group of cultural activists FKK (Factory of Art and Culture) and their supporters. This group aims to promote the arts and to create a space for creativity. The reopening was celbrated with an art mob by UNICOM.👇🏽 LINKS BELOW 👇🏽 Instagram: angelines_studioFacebook: English BreakfastRadio show: English BreakfastMy webpage:  English BreakfastPODCAST CHANNELS:Spotify Apple Podcasts Amazon Music Google PodcastGUEST LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chapelkrypta/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chapelkrypta/

Chulabhorn Science High School in Phitsanulok and Freihof Gymnasium Göppingen student exchangeThai and German high school students visit the radiofips Studios to talk about their experiences and expectations of going abroad as well as cultural differences.The umbrella theme for this year is exploring stereotypes.Background: Initiated through a personal acquaintance between a Thai and German teacher, contact was made with Chulabhorn Science High School in Phitsanulok, a city about 380 km north of Bangkok. The school is a boarding school with a focus on science.English is the language of communication between the German and Thai students.Since the first meeting in 2011 as part of the International Pupil Exchange, several meetings have already taken place in Göppingen and in Thailand. During the two to three week stay in Thailand, the pupils are accommodated for a time in host families, in the boarding school of the school and also away from home. In addition to participating in school events and workshops (science experiments, sports competitions, cooking classes, traditional musical instruments, Muay Thai), there is also the possibility of excursions or other activities (UNESCO cultural world heritage site Sukhothai, elephant riding, rice harvesting, jungle trip, Buddhist meditation, etc.). A short stay in the capital Bangkok concludes the trip.The participants are always impressed by the indescribably warm hospitality of the Thais and the rich Thai culture. However, the stark contrast between the very simple living conditions in the countryside and the temples of consumption in the big cities is also thought-provoking.The costs for the 14-day exchange trip amount to approx. 600 - 900 EURO, depending on flight prices and subsidies from the PASCH or ENSA funding programmes.👇🏽 LINKS BELOW 👇🏽 Instagram: angelines_studioFacebook: English BreakfastRadio show: English BreakfastMy webpage:  English BreakfastPODCAST CHANNELS:Spotify Apple Podcasts Amazon Music Google PodcastSupporter of the global sustainability goalsGUEST LINKS: Blog of the German student's experiences in Thailand http://ensa-german-thai.blogspot.com/https://www.freihof-gymnasium.de/chulabhorn-science-high-school-phitsanulok-thailand/PATSCH https://www.pasch-net.de/en/pasch-initiative/ueber-die-initiative.htmlThai blog about free trade project: http://collegeoftaste.blogspot.com/2014/05/
