CAFE WELTGEIST - - - - - - EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Culture:
It is not about techniques but the lived expression of worldviews,
worldviews are about ethical values and priorities,
and ethics are about decision making.

The future:
Industrial societies are disfunctional in themselves, in relation to global humanity and to the ecosystem. Yet, all solutions for a well co-orchestrated global dance to the sensible priority of ecological survival are at hand. So - why do today's mass decision makers behave to different priorities, despite better knowledge ?

Inter/Cultural Understanding and Knowledge of Sustainability Solutions are bottom-line qualities of 21st century-fit democratic citizens. This platform shall form the missing link between leading voices and experienced pacemakers towards sustainability, between networks and tools for exercising constructive democratic participation with:
the Education System.
