Willkommen bei den Storys von Smiling Gecko! Mit dem Relaunch unserer Website haben wir begonnen, einiges von dem in kleinen Artikeln zusammenzutragen, was uns bei Smiling Gecko in Kambodscha bewegt und antreibt.<\/p>\n

Das k\u00f6nnen Berichte aus den einzelnen Bereichen des Smiling Gecko Campus sein, Interviews mit unseren Mitarbeitenden vor Ort oder Geschichten, die wir aus irgendeinem Grund bemerkenswert finden. Sie k\u00f6nnen lustig, traurig oder lehrreich sein. Vor allem sollen sie aber sollen eins tun: Hoffnung machen auf eine Zukunft f\u00fcr das l\u00e4ndliche Kambodscha. In diesem Sinne: Viel Spass beim St\u00f6bern!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hollywood director and Smiling Gecko godfather Marc Forster is convinced: “Music, literature and film are emotional forms of expression that contribute to a nation’s healing process.” With the House of Culture and Music we want to contribute to this in the future.

The effects of global warming hit a poor country like Cambodia particularly hard. Here people are heavily dependent on agriculture. At the same time, there are few opportunities to protect oneself against the effects of crop failures. With the “Women in Aquaculture” project we are looking for a solution.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWeiterlesen \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Anyone who has ever tasted a ripe mango from the fields of the Smiling Gecko Campus will agree: There is no better fruit.

In contrast to some regions of Africa, Cambodia actually has significantly better conditions to operate an agricultural economy, for example, as we know it from the neighboring countries Thailand and Vietnam. So why is the country so poor and so backward? A look at the history books helps with the explanation.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWeiterlesen \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

A life without music? It’s probably hard for us to imagine. In Cambodia, however, this is the reality. The country’s recent history has meant that large sections of the younger generation grow up without the “natural” integration of music as a form of cultural expression. Widespread poverty and an inadequate school infrastructure also contribute to the lack of cultural expression.
