The German „Heimat“ is a term for which there is no translation in many languages. Everyone associates the term with different things. In the current socio-political debates, which are strongly influenced by populist tones, „Heimat“ has become one of the big buzzwords. Right-wing populists often advertise that they have to protect their “Heimat”, which they feel threatened by migrants and globalization. People who have moved, even within a country, bring their own cultural elements with them and create an encounter with something new or someone new for the people already living there. Many people are not prepared to deal with this. At the same time, the buzzword globalization encompasses a multitude of problems which, individually but especially in their totality, also overwhelm many people: digitization, the acceleration of society, global economic and political interdependence, the transfer of decision-making powers to the EU. All this gives many people the feeling that their familiar environment is changing and that they are confronted with things they do not want to deal with. It is about rooting and uprooting people in turbulent times. Right-wing populists, among others, take up this uncertainty by pointing out a seemingly simple way out: a return to one's „Heimat“, without any further definition. By protecting the „Heimat“, some problems can be solved. It is clear that this is only a slogan that does not stand up to closer scrutiny. However, the question remains where people today can find a feeling of home, i.e. of intimacy, security, comfort. In a time of internationalization, is this still the national level, or are the answers more to be found at the regional or European level? With its "United in Diversity" approach, the European Union offers the opportunity to offer both a European and a regional dimension of „Heimat“. This requires, however, that the EU as a whole succeeds in inspiring more people and providing answers to the urgent problems of our time. This project will bring together partners from school and extracurricular education and strengthen existing partnerships. The people involved in the partner institutions will have the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about non-formal learning and teaching methods together and from each other. Through scholar-extra-scholar-cooperation, new educational paths can be taken and deepened. Schools are often not able to provide comprehensive information and sensitization, but can usually only address individual subject areas. Topics are not addressed enough and cross-references, background information and options for action are too rarely pointed out. This is where non-formal education can start and supplement schools with awareness-raising approaches.
