During and after the so-called “Summer of Migration” an unprecedented
number of refugees entered the European continent, which led to a broad
right-wing backlash on societal as well as political levels. This caused the
common idea of European solidarity to dwindle and nationalism to thrive,
while public attention towards the suffering at European borders decreased.
One consequence of this polarization is social tensions and conflicts which rise
parallel to concerns about the refugees’ plight on the one, and the well-being
of European host societies on the other hand.
This project aims at training active and motivated youth workers as multipliers
to implement activities addressing racial discrimination and prejudices against
refugees, migrants and other vulnerable groups in their communities.
Likewise, the initiative will bolster an intersectional understanding of racism
and related social issues and will teach the target group how to mainstream
anti-discriminatory practices and attitudes in their wider work with youth as
well as their daily life.
This will take place through two Trainings:
Training I.: Fundamentals of Anti-Discrimination-Education
(7 days // Stratoni (Halkidiki), Greece // 14 – 22 September 2021)
Theoretical foundations of Postcolonial and Critical Whiteness Studies
Topical concepts definitions of discrimination, racism intersectionality
Biography work, self-reflection & empowerment
Training II.: From Theory to Practice
(5 days // Baitz (close by Berlin), Germany // 5 – 11 November 2021)
Non-formal education-methodologies of anti-bias and anti-racism-
education
Concept- and method-assessment against the background of decolonial
and anti-racist approaches
Development of a facilitation guideline
The trainings include guided study-visits to modern and historical sites in Berlin
and Halkidiki. Both will have a strong focus on interactive learning and close
and regular exchange. Methods and concepts are repeatedly reflected upon
and discussed in terms of their practical suitability in order to ensure a
differentiated and target group-oriented application in practice.
