Expanding Narratives

In the page's words:

**English version below**

Expanding Narratives takes a critical, creative and analytical look at narratives and images of sustainability. In a participatory research and development project, it examines how young people from Germany and Tanzania perceive and negotiate historical and contemporary images and narratives in the (social) media.

In an intercultural exchange, 16 young people from both countries developed their own ideas and translated them into photographic images of a sustainable future. With the aim of participating in public sustainability discourses, the photographs will be presented online and at various events in Germany and Tanzania.

The project will be carried out 2024-2026 by the University of Cologne and the Cologne University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Tanzania, the Akademie für Kulturelle Bildung des Bundes und des Landes NRW and the Deutsches Kinder- und Jugendfilmzentrum (KJF).
