Current issue: Encounter 3/2023
Education determines what we harvest in the future
With our 2023 campaign, we are highlighting the importance of education for ecologically sustainable development. In Nigeria, for example, the soil is yielding less and less due to the effects of climate change. Since many people live off their own agricultural yields, their livelihoods are threatened. Mission 21 and its local partners are helping those affected to grow enough food for themselves and their families under changed conditions.
Also in this issue: Education scholarships secure livelihoods for women and youth in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The magazine "begegnen" is Mission 21's donor magazine and is published four times a year. The magazine contains information and stories about Mission 21's projects and the people behind them.
The magazine is printed in Switzerland. The Gremper print shop prints climate-neutrally and invests in meaningful climate projects. â–ºMore information

All the magazines of these mission agencies - including "begegnen" - are accessible online in an app, a digital magazine kiosk. In the magazine "Eine Welt" you will find articles on the topic of mission and ecumenism, which have also appeared in our magazine "Auftrag" so far. In the future, however, you will also find selected articles from this cooperation online on our website in the â–º News.
