Bildung wozu? Dreams are not enough Träume sind mir nicht genug A gateway to success or a nightmare of failure. Annette Schavan encourages us to not to regard education solely as the key to climbing the career ladder. Education is more than just acquiring knowledge. Education changes us and gives us a sense of purpose. Annette Schavan talks of her own experiences, her childhood, her student days. Education means discovering yourself - for a lifetime. Renate Künast, a political shooting star, is not the cliché of a typical „green“.

How does she achieve her goals? What experiences have influenced her political choices? Media is big business. Talk of „new viewing patterns“ of „kids of today“ is marketing patter.
