Ökonomische Allgemeinbildung für resiliente Arbeit in Europa

Mehr entdecken
Worum geht es?

Eine Lernplattform

Erwachsenenbildner/innen aus Vereinen, Instituten, Unternehmen und Universitäten in sechs europäischen Ländern erarbeiten eine Lernplattform.

Der derzeitige wirtschaftliche und soziale Wandel verändert auch die Arbeitswelt. Wie? Steigt die Arbeitslosigkeit? Werden neue Arbeitsplätze geschaffen? Ändern sich die Arbeitsbedingungen? Wird die soziale Sicherheit künftig über die Erwerbsarbeit finanziert? Was bedeutet „Resilienz“ in seinen allgemeinen, gesellschaftlichen und alltäglichen Dimensionen?

Die Themen der Kurse sind:

  • Facetten einer politischen Ökonomie der Resilienz
  • Notwendige finanzpolitische Maßnahmen für eine gerechte Transformation für Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer
  • Plattformökonomie und (resiliente) Arbeit
  • Die „Gig“-Ökonomie und Arbeitsmigrant/innen
  • Care-Arbeit in der Gründungsökonomie
  • Grundeinkommen und nachhaltige Arbeit
  • Arbeitsplatzgarantie und moderne Geldtheorie
  • Wie die Covid-19-Pandemie die Anforderungen an die modernen Arbeiter veränderte (Arbeitskräfte)
  • Qualifikationen für zukünftige Arbeitsplätze (wie sich die Ausbildung/Kompetenzentwicklung verändern muss, um den Anforderungen des zukünftigen Arbeitsmarktes gerecht zu werden)
  • Berufsberatung und -orientierung für einen erfolgreichen Übergang in den Arbeitsmarkt
  • Unternehmertum als Instrument zur Förderung von Innovation und Resilienz auf dem Arbeitsmarkt

Survival of the richest
Global inequality and the survival of… the richest?

If we organized a small village like our global economy, we would probably call this an authoritarian or a feudal regime. Oxfam’s recent report shows the staggering picture of global inequality and how the survival of all requires a radically different turn.

The value of non-working time and gender equality

Gender quality pertains to the Western middle class. In contrast, global challenges grow, with women employed in Western households often leaving behind their families or having less time to care for their children. This cannot be a systemic solution to gender equality.

In our economic system, economic growth and employment are systematically linked. Growth allows the creation of jobs. In addition, the social security system is linked to work. In countries with an export-led growth model, such as Germany, the economy needs more skilled people. The unskilled and the long-term unemployed remain outside the labour market. What are ways out?

" Resilienz ist eine Lebenskunst, und sie beinhaltet die Kraft, gesellschaftliche Bedingungen zu schaffen, die eine solche Lebenskunst ermöglichen."

Helène Zuc

Was wir machen

Unsere Projektaktivitäten umfassen Online-Treffen über die Kurse der Lernplattform, die wir erstellen, sowie über organisatorische Fragen. Darüber hinaus treffen wir uns reihum in den Einrichtungen der Partner und veranstalten Workshops, um das entwickelte Material zu testen und zu diskutieren. Hier finden Sie einige Eindrücke.

Work on work

Work meeting in Ireland in January 2023 to continue working on the topic of work and the courses on which the partners are currently working. Compared for example to money, it is not a "sexy" topic. But crucial for our life. Of course, there are many links to money....

Video meetings

Again and again: The smaller group of project coordinators meets each other regularly to discuss the next steps of the project's progress and to exchange on course templates as well as draft materials.

Just transition

Workshop in Vienna, June 2023: What is wellbeing? What ideas exist for a just transition to that? How does artificial intelligence change the world of work? These and many other questions were discussed during 4 days. „The exchange is the best part of the project.“

Wer wir sind

In unserer Gruppe arbeiten Kolleg/innen aus Deutschland, Österreich, der Tschechischen Republik, Spanien, Irland und Polen zusammen. Gemeinsam haben wir bereits die Lernplattform Economic Literacy in Europe mit Kursen zu Ungleichheit, Geld, Wachstum, Steuern, Klimawandel und anderen Themen entwickelt.
