New publication: Solidarity and Crisis

Times of crisis are difficult, but also hold challenges for individuals and society that do not have to have only negative consequences. Crises can develop a positive potential and act as a turning point, an occasion for reorientation and change. For this to succeed, solidarity is particularly necessary: common problems must be dealt with collectively, individual interests must be put aside to protect others. Based on this understanding, the anthology looks at the Corona crisis from a social education perspective and beyond: What does the crisis do to us as a society? In what ways are specific groups affected and how do they deal with it? What are the effects of the crisis at the individual level? The contributions shed light on challenges and problems, but also on approaches to solutions.
