Life is complicated. Living together is even more complicated. So how do we want to live? It is a deeply demanding question that also concerns young people from an early age.

The subject of politics aims to bring together connections from politics, business and society, to develop facts and to evaluate them based on criteria. We want to accompany young people in the process of growing up to become independent thinkers, critically questioning and responsible citizens. In this way, identification with basic democratic values can occur. In the subject of politics and economics, technical basics are learned, but at the same time it should also offer the freedom to focus on current (daily) topics and thus understand the complexity of problems and learn to deal with them. This means a compulsion to engage in controversial discussions. In this way, students also learn to look from other perspectives.

You can’t say ‘I don’t do politics,’ because silence is a political statement.
