ABSTRACT
In the Education Studies Department, the Plenum for Unconventional Activities is making efforts to rekindle the 1960s dreams of university didactics: project studies, a close relationship between theory and practice, research useful for Berlin. In front of the cafeteria at the Free University Berlin are itinerant booksellers with a meagre turnover. Inside the cafeteria is a table where a small queue has formed. Two people are selling tea: not some artificially flavoured tea, but the finest Darjeeling from the slopes of the Himalayas, the latest harvest of Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. The Tea Campaign pays the Indian producers better prices and finances development aid. The Tea Campaign people say, sell the highest quality tea at half price and deal much more fairly with the Third World. The Tea Campaign is alternative because it takes away the market from the monopolists to the benefit of the Indian producers and the German consumers.
