Instead of cramming for exams, in indigenous communities people learn practically through the passing on of stories and the experiences of elders. The example of cruel stories of boarding schools and similar institutions shows how the European colonisers tried to force indigenous communities to adopt Western thinking and learning structures. Because of this, diverse knowledge based on experience and traditions was destroyed. Today, many indigenous practices and types of knowledge belong to the non-material UNESCO world culture inheritance and the view of indigenous knowledge and concepts for the coexistence between human beings and nature has been given a new focus. Learning for Life is a Round Table about the future of education. We change the perspective and talk with partners of the Humboldt Forum from Tanzania, Amazonia and Papua New Guinea about what we can learn from them and what is needed to make centuries of old knowledge visible again.
