We are living in an interconnected world, but still have to face huge inequalities around the globe. A common practice to tackle these inequalities is development cooperation. Executed by states, NGOs or unprofessional volunteers, development aid has many faces and one thing in common: the stigmata of „helping “- the „developed, civilized, mature“ societies of this world give themselves the position to uplift the lives of the „undeveloped, unorganized and poor“ ones. In the framework of sustainable development goals, we already see how the focus of "the global south" changes towards a joint responsibility for sustainable development in all regions of the world. Everyone can be a global change maker and can set an end to colonial hierarchies by rethinking its perspective on so called „developing countries.“
