Today’s environmental movement attaches great importance to providing strong images of their activities for the media – a protest against deforestation by Extinction Rebellion in Berlin 2020. Photo (detail): © picture alliance/AA/Abdulhamid Hosbas

Environmental Movement
 The heirs of the environmental movement are dissatisfied

The climate protectors of Fridays for Future have brought the environment issue back to the streets – just like their predecessors in the 1970s. The older generation does not seem radical enough to the young activists. Both movements, however, have a lot in common.

False reports, lies and conspiracy theories spread like wildfire, especially on the internet. Photo (detail): © Adobe

Fake News
“We cannot simply ignore disinformation”

What can we do about the flood of false reports, lies and conspiracy theories that make the rounds on the internet every day? Journalist and head of broadcaster ARD’s fact finder team, Patrick Gensing talks about parallel worlds, new pressures on journalists, and how fake news both poses a threat to and strengthens established media at the same time.
 

If we take the mission to achieve solidarity seriously, this time of crisis could become Europe’s finest hour. Photo (detail): © Adobe

The Corona Pandemic
 A Globalisation of Solidarity

Dealing with the pandemic demands quite a lot from us. Two questions are crucial right now: How ready are we to learn from it? And what lessons will we learn? Which is why EU countries in particular should now move closer together to become a Europe of solidarity.

#WordOfTheWeek

"Schnapsidee" & Co., "special German" words have their charm, but are often difficult to explain!
At the Goethe-Institut Irland we have made a selection of these words accessible to non-native speakers.
