Changing the World While Changing Diapers

This book was born in the Amka Space for Women’s Creativity hosted by the Goethe Institut in Nairobi where the two authors, Peter and Isabell, met. It was inspired by an article in The Guardian called Changing the world instead of changing diapers’ which argued that we are spending too much time and energy on our own personal happiness and the education of our kids while the world is ending in ecological disaster and social conflict. In this book, Peter and Isabell are showing based on their own life stories that you can change the world while changing diapers and that the very act of educating a child or responding to education becomes an act of changing the world as it answers fundamental questions about new life and death, trust and fear, power and rebellion.
