Children today are faced with a flood of contradictory and often unreliable information, whereby the central problem is not so much a lack of knowledge as dealing with uncertainty. The ‘My Mind Is Mine’ project addresses this issue and specifically promotes critical, dialogical and fact-based thinking, as well as the ability to weigh up different perspectives. The aim is to embed these skills in everyday school life in a practical way, thereby strengthening long-term orientation, judgement and democratic resilience.
