The project To-Gather is trying to give answers to these questions
You are welcome to join us in the project To-Gather to work on this. We designed inovative learning routes for the age-groups between 3-6 years, 7-11 years, 12-16 years and 17-25 years. All groups work on the five core themes of To-Gather: Identity, Family and Friends, Good Work (ecological identity), Migration and Mobility, and the Other.
The learning routes are a kind of “service learning” because the knowledge, the working forms and the material are worked out concretely. But is also meant as an invitation to design your own route and material.

Welcome to the teaser of the film ‘It’s hard to become who you are
To-Gatherland
Turn on the bright lights and let it shine on Europe, a young woman looking for an own and the other’s identity. She is sounding out the city on her red roller skates, The only way is to go back in time and meet the youth of today, while flashes of memories are comings as brainwaves into her mind. The train will bring her and the youth of today to places that were important in her life such the Agora in Athens, the Alhambra in Granada, the Dam in Amsterdam, the Arc of Triumph in Paris, the trench in Ypres and Auschwitz, the Berlin Wall, the Building Berlaymont in Brussels and the Hagya Sofia and Blue Mosk in Istanbul.
Finally she internalizes the five minds for the future as five colours of her face to become ‘a multiple choice identity’.
A beautiful young woman of 27 years is slaloming on red rollerskates in the streets of Istanbul to her virtual world, her bubble in the disco. But there she is threatened by evil and escapes through the window to the station, where the last train is waiting for her. In the train she meets 5 peergroups of young people. Together with one or more young people she visits 5 historical places to find out who she is and who she wants to be. She is confronted with a past that’s no history an with a future that’s not like it was before.
The special thing is that the values of each peergroup is related to a specific historical period.
Europe and also each group has an own learning and living style to balance the five minds for the future and to become a ‘multiple choice identity’.
In the first compartment is the knowledge-based, individualistic, excellent and hedonist youth of today and they don’t want to talk to her as a barbarian. She leaves the train with a Celtic boy as a guide and at the agora in Athens she meets Socrates He tells her what to do: ‘Find the five minds for the future to become a knowledge based, synthesizing, problem-solving, respectful and ethical person’. From there she leaves for the Pantheon, the meeting point of all cultures where she is doing a beautiful raindance under the Eye.
