Of the Power of the Small
Thursday, June 29, 2023
by Prof Dr Norbert Pintsch
No matter what is conceived or initiated, - more or less quickly the thought process moves to mass thinking and mass production; The motive in the background is to be able to participate in global events.
Even if such thought processes are understandable due to the global spree, still the preservation and support of the small-scale and unspectacular projects is necessary.
It is not the globalization and digitization that represents the basis for the future, but the increasingly disappearing analogue, the cultural asset that has emerged at some point - similar to the arctic seed vault in Spitzergen in the area of plants and horticulture.
It is urgently needed to support the delicate shoots of such projects is urgently needed, including the preservation of the environment.
The usual commercialization of such projects is counterproductive and destructive!

Del poder de lo pequeño
Para preservar los bienes culturales tradicionales
Profesor Doctor Norberto Pintsch
Independientemente de lo que se conciba o inicie, se piensa más o menos rápidamente en términos de masa y producción; la razón primaria es la participación en acontecimientos globales.
Aunque tales pensamientos sean comprensibles debido a la influencia global, es necesario preservar y apoyar los proyectos a pequeña escala y no necesariamente espectaculares.
No es lo globalizado y digitalizado lo que representa la base del futuro, sino lo analógico que está desapareciendo cada vez más, el bien cultural que se creó en algún momento, similar a una bóveda que almacena semillas vegetales en el ártico.
Aquí se necesita urgentemente el apoyo de los brotes de un proyecto, incluida la preservación del entorno.
¡La comercialización habitual de tales proyectos es contraproducente y destructiva!

A little about ourselves DGFK-TANTO MEJOR POR LA PAZ
Friday, August 6, 2021
by Aaron Pinsker and Norbert Pintsch
The DGFK was founded almost fifty years ago. The practical engagement with cultures was implemented in many projects according to a model which used and demonstrated the various interdependencies in culture.
Projects emerged through initiatives, collaborations and activities, initially in Central Europe and after 1990 increasingly in other countries.
From around 2010, we started to collect results and examples into our own (DGFK) archive and assigned them to topics such as interviews, sounds, movies, slide shows, animations, books, posters, etc.
The year 2000 is a turning point in the DGFK, because at the end of 1999 analogue printing of the DGFK newsletter as well as of Indus-River, Sanaga Rivière, Rio Magdalena and Hekla was discontinued.
The reason for this was increasing digitization of media. This also led to increasing depth of the digital information, so that the DGFK established its own website, sponsored by a company, because one of our projects showed pilot character at the EXPO2000 show.
An eShop was installed for selling certain handicraft products from the projects, but ultimately it was abandoned as it did not appear to be suitable for the individually unique items.
In similar manner some websites were also removed because they were no longer necessary or technically obsolete (for example Internet radio projects). But they are stored in the archive and available to interested quarters.
The partner initiatives had their own websites, which were supplemented early on by flexible blogs:
Pakistan:
www.thattakedona.blogspot.com
Kamerun:
Kolumbien:
www.elcampomirando.blogspot.com
Other project partners, some of them no longer active, are:
www.dolls-project.com (Groenland),
www.royalglobage.com (UAE),
ac-criti-project.com (Griechenland),
www.id-museum.com (Island).
With the help of DGFK, partner societies in other project countries were established, such as:
www.sparc-project.blogspot.com (Pakistan),
www.spocabangladesh.blosspot.com (BanglaDesh),
www.spaetcolombia.blogspot.com (Kolumbien),
www.spathcameroon.blogspot.com (Kamerun),
www.spaetcolombia.blogspot.com (Kolumbien),
www.sutolsrilanka.blogspot.com (SriLanka),
www.sodshnepal.blogspot.com (Nepal),
www.semoliceland.blogspot.com (Island),
www.spokupolonia.blogspot.com (Polen).
In the course of time, a plethora of active participants, supporters and partners entered into the projects and their names are duly collected in the DGFK archive or can be found in search engines:
If a name (for example (Karola Groch,Werner Schroeder, Monika Kuppler, Renate Perner,Marlis Bartkiewitz-Schmitt, u.a.)) is associated with a certain activity or a certain support organization, e.g. the SES, it can be found there too.
Some friends of the DGFK have separated and put their work in the context of a company or organization (e.g. Fronzeck, Heckes, Klapper, Polzer, Sauter, Christ, Borgmann, Stober) or chosen an art platform for their efforts. We do have one person, who has selflessly devoted all her energy and efforts towards the benefit of the general public around the globe (Siller).
