Burladingen's global ethos school: Education with responsibility for the future!

Dachau, Deutschland - In Burladingen, the global retail school is an important point of contact for holistic and value-oriented education. This special school, which has had its place in the community since 2016, was named after the well -known theologian Hans Küng. Headmaster Johannes Heß has set itself the task of bringing the principles of global ethos into everyday school life. As part of the global retail project, an Initiative of the Bavarian CDU Minister of Education Prien is currently being discussed who wants to demand mandatory visits to students in concentration camp memorials. This suggestion is seen as a meaningful step to strengthen awareness of your own history and the associated values.

In addition to the proposed visits to the memorial, Chris Bartels' community customer teacher is actively involved in political education. It carries out regular projects that bring the students to central sociopolitical topics and enable them to develop their point of view. This commitment is a central part of the educational approach at the Burladinger global retail school.

global ethos - a question of values ​​

But what is behind the concept of the global ethos? The project was initiated for the first time in 1990 by Hans Küng, the aim of which was to identify universal values ​​that combine people worldwide. These values ​​include, among other things, non -violence, justice, truthfulness, equality and ecological responsibility. These principles should enable all people to have a humane treatment and help to solve conflicts peacefully.

The global retail school follows these principles and has already reached a variety of students in its short history. So far, over 14,000 students have benefited from this educational concept, which also promotes exchange and understanding for different cultures. In particular, the emphasis on equality and partnership helps to reduce discrimination and promote mutual respect.

A look into the future

With the founding of the global ethos at the University of Tübingen in 2012, a further step was taken to promote the promotion of these common values ​​in society and the economy. 77 people and volunteers are currently dealing with the global ethos project and contributing to its distribution. The development of an ambassador program since 2019, in which 38 managers become active, shows that the topic of values ​​and ethics is becoming increasingly relevant.

In the coming years it will be exciting to see how the global retail school will develop and what role the suggestions of Minister Prien will play. One thing is certain: the mediation of values ​​and the responsible handling of one's own history are essential building blocks for a peaceful and just future. Overall, the approach of Project Welthos shows that common values ​​can beat a bridge between people - regardless of origin or believe.
