Dolls project - Royal University Centre - Kids Club

Prof Dr Norbert Pintsch

We are entering the fifth year, during which special relationships with the NW region were interrupted.

Even if there have been contacts occasionally, the personal aspect is still missing in such relationships. Personal means face-to-face contact - emails, Zoom conferences and similar means are always only a substitute. This applies to our planet, but also - if we look into the future - e.g. from Earth to Mars, this will be unpleasantly noticeable even during transport!

But if we think about our special relationships, we can internalize the project content. This means having taken up and maintaining the concern, namely the preservation of traditional culture. In the doll project by Dr Senta Siller and Madame Theresa, attention was drawn to the richness of our culture and this was made clear, not only to the adult generation.

The Royal University project with Prof showed how important it is for the student generation to engage with adapted technology (by Mr Victor and CAT) and traditional medicine (by Dr Thomas).

In the Kids Club project by CAT, the children were made aware of climate protection, resource protection and environmental protection. Despite all the problems and imponderables, we should always be aware of what we have achieved in practice and that it was not in vain if we have internalized the seeds of the three projects. There is always a reason to look positively into the future - hope never dies!

So let's welcome the coming year 2025 together!
