    Youth and single parents doing urban research About the projectThe climate crisis repeatedly exposes existing weaknesses in democratic practice.

    What is this project about?How can good people do bad things? How can people act contrary to their moral beliefs without having a bad conscience?

All these things have one thing in common: When performing these actions, the...
