Er will Gegenwartsdiagnosen für das Pfadfinden formulieren und stellt dabei die Themen Internationalität, Führung, Generationenkonflikte, soziale Ungleichheit, Religiosität, Körper und Bildung sowie die damit verbundenen Potenziale und Probleme in den Mittelpunkt. Wo ist die traditionsreiche, internationale Kinder- und Jugendbewegung unter den Bedingungen beschleunigter Modernisierungsprozesse zu verorten?
High-Quality Outdoor Learning
This open access book reviews evidence and case studies on the effects of outdoor learning on teachers and learners. It shows how real-world learning outside the classroom contributes to unlocking the full potential of learners, demonstrating its benefits for academic learning, social competencies, personal and emotional development, psychological well-being, and physical activity and health.

Decision Making in Social Sciences: Between Traditions and Innovations
This book explores several branches of the social sciences and their perspectives regarding their relations with decision-making processes: computer science, education, linguistics, sociology, and management. The decision-making process in social contexts is based on the analysis of sound alternatives using evaluative criteria. Therefore, this process is one that can be rational or irrational, and can be based on knowledge and/or beliefs. A decision-making process always produces a final decision, which may or may not imply prompt action, and increases the chances of choosing the best possible alternative. The book is divided into four main parts. The concepts covered in the first part, on c...
Pfadfinden weltweit
In diesem Band wird das Pfadfinden als weltweit verbreitete Kinder- und Jugendbewegung in den Blick genommen und gefragt, wie international und weltoffen die deutschsprachige Pfadfindergemeinschaft ist. Wo eröffnen sich internationale Bildungsräume, welche nachhaltigen Effekte haben die internationalen Jugendbegegnungen? Pfadfinden ist als Methode nicht nur weltweit verbreitet, sondern Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder sind darüber hinaus in die Dynamiken globaler Vernetzung eingebunden. Die Kinder- und Jugendbewegung kann mit ihrer internationalen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit sogar selbst als Akteurin in Globalisierungsprozessen gesehen werden. Zugleich aber ist das Pfadfinden konfrontiert mit den Herausforderungen, die sich aus der Globalisierung ergeben.
Alone
A book for our times: a moving meditation on the tension between loneliness and freedom, individualism and love. At no time before have so many people lived alone, and never has loneliness been so widely or keenly felt. Why, in a society of individualists, is living alone perceived as a shameful failure? And can we ever be happy on our own? Drawing on personal experience, as well as philosophy and sociology, Daniel Schreiber explores the tension between the desire for solitude and freedom, and the desire for companionship, intimacy, and love. Along the way he illuminates the role that friendships play in our lives—can they be a response to the loss of meaning in a world in crisis? A profoundly enlightening book on how we want to live, Alone spent almost a year on Germany’s bestseller list.
Writing Namibia
A rich collection of captivating and remarkable chapters, Writing Namibia Coming of Age presents research of senior academics as well as emerging scholars from Namibia. The book includes wide ranging topics in literature written in English and other Namibian languages, such as German, Afrikaans and Oshiwambo. Almost thirty years after independence, Namibia literature has come of age with new writers experimenting with different genres and varied aspects of literature. As an aesthetic object and social phenomenon, Namibian literature still fulfils the function of social conscience and as new writers emerge, there is ample demonstration that, pluri-vocal as they are, Namibian literary texts relate in a complex manner to the socio-historical trends shaping the country. The Namibian literary-critical tradition continues to paint some versions of Namibia and what we find in this new and highly welcome volume is a canvas of rich voices and perspectives that demonstrate an intricate diversity in terms of culture, language, and themes.
Childhood and Children’s Rights between Research and Activism
Subjective human rights of children are reasonably fathomed cooperatively by practice, activism and research. Approaches in interdisciplinary learning and teaching in childhood and children’s rights are demonstrated as possibilities for social change through acquiring competencies to think and act children’s rights. This book is dedicated to Manfred Liebel and focuses on his life’s work. He has, throughout his life and work, combined social scientific childhood theories and children’s rights discourses with practical, topical examples of protagonism and agency of children and young people in different national and international contexts.
Youth Transitions
Youth and the future What will become of today’s young people in Australia, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America? Will they be supportive of the world they live in? Or are they doomed to be criminal drop-outs? The authors investigate to which extent different and contradictory trends of social modernisation and economic progress determine the biographical development and social integration of young people in different countries and world regions. Thus, the authors look at the role young people themselves can play in the future; either as construc tive social actors or as a problematic – and partly excluded – group unable to face the challenges of a permanently changing world.
