International Solidarity: From the 1968s to “Willkommenskultur”
Aug. 10 um 10:00 – 17:00

This seminar will give an overview on the history of the 1968 students movement and it’s relation to international solidarity. But how was the solidarity received by the movements in the global south? Was there a positive impact on the political and liberation movements in the colonized and post-colonized countries? And what about reciprocity?

Nowadays many people in Germany are involved in the self-organized “Willkommenskultur”-groups to help refugees and migrants. Hereby the refugees and migrants are often in the position to receive help and to learn how to integrate into mainstream society. Frequently their competences, knowledge and skills are not recognized and perceived as resources of the society. What can we do to overcome these paternalistic structures?

International women`s movements
Aug. 11 um 10:00 – 17:00

As a short introduction, the seminar will inform about the history of women´s movements in Germany and the reasons why they started to fight for equal rights, empowering and emancipation.
In the main part of the seminar will be space for exchange, discussion and knowledge sharing about own experiences with women´s movements in the different countries of origin of the participants and the role of women´s movement in social, political and economic change of societies. This dialogue of perspectives should also focus on the challenges of an intersectional perspective, that’s taking into account multiple systems of dominance that structure (not only) women’s lives and the course of women’s movements (like racism, heteronomativity, class structures, ablism etc.). This intersectional perspective was developed by women’s movement activists especially from the global south as a critique of the blind spots within western feminist perspectives.
Taking that critique into account we want to discuss together how solidarity among women’s movements in different contexts can be possible – without paternalistic gestures and without remaining an empty phrase.
This seminar is onlyfor LBTI+, no CIS- Men!

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING: „Tear down these Walls! Educational Approaches against Europe’s Past und Present Division“ Part II in Bucharest (05.09. – 12.09.)
Sep. 5 um 12:00 – Sep. 12 um 16:00

We’re looking for participants from the Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Serbia, who would like to join our training project in Bucharest and who work with youths/young adults.
The course is a followup of a training that took place in Berlin in March this year. The Bucharest training is conceptualized as an independent non-formal educational unit in this longterm project. We invite new participants to apply for the Bucharest part. It’s a cooperation project of us (solar e.V.) and our Romanian partner organisation Asociatia Expeditie in Cultura. (For more information about what happened so far, please visit our project blog: http://solarev.org/teardownthesewalls/)

About the training

In these 6 days we will learn, try out, discuss and evaluate a large variety of non-formal pedagogical approaches to deal with the European east-west history and it`s current consequences. To reflect the European history and the still existing stereotypes about „the east“ and „the west“ is an important part of political education and is contributing to a peaceful Europe in future.
We want to exchange experiences and perspectives on that topic. This also includes the presentation and evaluation of the projects that have been implemented by the participants of the Berlin training.
Furthermore, the participants will get information about the communist time in Romania. In order to deal with the wide range of pedagogical approaches the training involves activities such as doing excursions to historical memorial places, talking with contemporary witnesses, doing biographical work and trying out creative and artistic methods and developing skills such as dealing with conflict or using pictures and visual methods.
The language of communication during the training will be English. There will be vegan / vegetarian food and sometimes options to eat meat.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING: „Migration & Inclusion. Chances and Challenges for our Future“ Part II in Amsterdam (14.10. – 23.10.)
Okt. 14 um 16:00 – Okt. 23 um 16:00

Migration – and especially the situation of refugees – is one of the main topics in public opinion all over Europe. Images of shipwrecked people dying or being rescued in the Mediterranean, people crossing borders in the Balkan countries or trying to cross the channel-tunnel to Britain are day by day in the news. Millions of people worldwide are on the move as a result of war, discrimination, social inequality and economic deprival in the hope to find a better future elsewhere. But there is still no clear European strategy helping to deal with the problems faced by those people, except for populist debates, rising hostilities against refugees, the over-securitization of borders and military solutions such as hunting escape helpers or criminalising rescue helpers at sea. Yet migration is of all times and people will continue looking for better opportunities. One of the main challenges of our time is the acceptance of the presence of migrants and their inclusion in European societies.

This double training course consists of two eight-day training events on the topic of migration and inclusion in Berlin and Amsterdam. They will be connected by a five-month try-out and evaluation period of conducting nonformal educational methods and best practice in all partner countries. The participants will learn, try out, discuss and evaluate a large variety of pedagogical approaches to deal with the topics of migration, anti-racist education, stereotypes, intercultural dialogue and conflict management. The trainings involve activities such as doing excursions and guided tours, talking to contemporary witnesses, work with creative and artistic methods, try out methods of anti-racist and trans-cultural education and sharing knowledge and experiences.
The activities in the program will qualify the trainees within the context of intercultural learning and stimulate them to develop and adopt new skills concerning the topics of migration and inclusion of migrants. The training promotes pedagogical approaches in dealing with challenges and opportunities in multicultural and pluralistic societies and empowers the participants to work on reflective competences and tools for social change. Thus the participants will be able to use their newly acquired expertise in their work with youth and young adults and share and multiply what they have learned with fellow youth workers. An online blog will be used as a working and dissemination tool to collect, discuss and reflect the content during and after the whole project.

The language of communication during the trainings will be English, the food will be vegetarian/vegan.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING: Including everyone. Creative and participatory method-training for the work with different age-groups
Nov. 7 um 9:00 – Nov. 12 um 17:00

This seminar is addressed to staff active in adult education, training and community work that seek to strengthen their non-formal teaching methods’ knowledge and attention for inclusion. We want to increase the participants’ attention for excluding practice (e.g. related to gender, minorities), and habits and group activities. The course will contain theoretical inputs, try-out, discussion and evaluating phases for different non-formal educational strategies, methods and tools. These methods and tools aim to increase the motivation, concentration and creativity of learners during different kind of educational environments and to prevent exclusion. The philosophy behind the methods is to include the knowledge, attention and capabilities of all participants and create a participatory setting with necessary attention to the needs of all participants.

This course is a KA1 mobility project for school education staff and for adult education staff.

Training For Nature – 9. – 16. Juli 2017 – Rumänien @ Băile Tușnad (Rumänien)
Juli 9 – Juli 16 ganztägig

Background of the project
“ Training For Nature” project was developed based on the fact that the world nowadays is facing very dramatic challenges caused by global warming, desertification and acid rain or atmospheric pollution which took the shape of an environmental crisis affecting the earth balance and having consequences as spread of tropical diseases, malnutrition, relocation and reunification of
refugees and immigrant families, housing and food challenges, disaster relief and changes to employment patterns. Unsustainable models of advancement, unequal power relations and unequal dissemination and use of resources, key to the current worldwide socio-economic system of neo-liberalism, worsen structural disparities and influence most poor and low-income individuals.

The main goal of the project is to increase the capacity of youth-related organizations in Europe to become more sustainable and environmentally oriented in their work. The training course offers to the participants a holistic understanding of the unity and interdependence of human society and the natural environment. At the same time, we will offer a series of tools to participants that will enable them to trigger learning processes within young people in relation with the action they can take to protect the environment and build a sustainable community.

More specific objectives are:
– To provide tools and methods to 25 youth workers from 7 countries in Europe to enable young people engage in more sustainable and environmentally friendly activities in their daily life.
– To create environmentally friendly attitudes among 25 youth workers in order to help young people commit to a sustainable lifestyle and make environmentally friendly changes in their daily behaviour.
– To stimulate the participants to act as “environment agents” in their own organization and regions.
– To create a networking framework that would enhance the organizational and professional development of the 7 partner organizations towards interventions focused on environment and sustainable development.
The project brings together 7 partner organization from all around Europe in Romania, in an environmentally friendly location. They will share good practice, experience new methods and explore new sides of an environmentally oriented type of intervention.

Target group and criteria
The participants of the project are envisioned to be youth workers or other practitioners active in the nongovernmental partner organizations who wish to design and implement environmentally oriented activities with the young people they are working with. Therefore, they can be social workers, project managers, volunteer coordinators, communications coordinators, psychologists, community
facilitators, etc.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING: Water is Life – Education on Water & Sustainability
Sep. 22 – Okt. 1 ganztägig

Following the title “Water is Life – Educational Approaches on Water and Sustainability”, we will try out educational approaches and methods for 10 days. We will discover and exchange methods which will enable the participants to cover the various dimensions (ecological, economic, social and political, human rights) of the topic “water & sustainability” in their educational day-to-day work. The training strongly focuses on getting to know different pedagogical approaches in a direct manner. Thus, the participants will have the opportunity to try out, evaluate and discuss a variety of methods: a simulation game, excursions and guided tours, nutrition based on a sustainability index, as well as other interactive & non-formal methods which are tied to intercultural, environmental and outdoor education. In addition, participants will be taught background and basic knowledge about water and sustainability.

The training is aimed at full-time and voluntary youth workers (32 participants) from Germany, Romania, Albania, Slovakia, Serbia, Tunisia, Finland and Italy, especially those who are invested in environmental education.

Ort: tagungswerk im Kubiz, Berlin Weißensee

Wir sind drei Kommunen, zwei aus Berlin und eine aus Brandenburg. In diesem Seminar wollen wir uns (auch spielerisch) folgenden Fragen nähern:

* Was macht Kommune mit mir? Wie verändert mich das?
* Eine Kasse – und das funktioniert?
* Entscheidungen treffen im Konsens?
* Geht im Kollektiv nix oder alles schief?
* Gemeinschaft leben ohne Hierachie?
* Die Kleinfamilie – Hort des letzten Glücks oder Beziehungssackgasse?
* Was bedeutet eigentlich „politische“ Kommune?

Wir haben zwar keine fertigen Antworten, aber mittlerweile viele Erfahrungen im kommunitären Miteinander gesammelt und als drei Gruppen und viele Individuen verschiedene Ansätze. Das Seminar richten sich an Leute, die Anregungen für ihre eigene weitere Lebensgestaltung suchen und Lust haben, die Kommunen kennen zu lernen und sich mit alternativen Lebensformen auseinander setzen wollen.
Besonders freuen wir uns über Menschen mit konkretem und praktischem Kommune Interesse.
Anmeldung bitte frühzeitig an Kommune.Seminar@tagungswerk.de

Film: CLOUD MAKING MACHINE – Zwischen Heim & Heimat
Dez. 6 um 20:15 – 22:15

CLOUD MAKING MACHINE – Zwischen Heim & Heimat
D 2017 (75 Min. OmdeU)

Die Mittzwanziger Firas, Jallow und Batoul sind neu in Berlin und begegnen sich in einer Theatergruppe in einer Erstaufnahmeeinrichtung. Sie suchen das gute Leben in Deutschland. Doch nichts ist wie erwartet. In Videobriefen offenbaren sie sich ihren engsten Vertrauten im kriegs- oder armutsdurchrüttelten Heimatland. „Ich war auf dem Weg in ein Land, über das ich nicht viel wusste. Alles was ich weiß ist, dass es voller Blumen ist, mit schönen Menschen, die mich anlächeln.“ (Firas) Über zwei Jahre begleitet der Film ihren Alltag, beobachtet sie bei der Entwicklung ihres Theaterstückes und gewährt einen intensiven Einblick in das Leben dreier junger Menschen, die in Deutschland einen Neuanfang versuchen. „Susanne Dzeik ist mit »Cloud Making Machine« ein eindrucksvoller und einfühlsamer Film gelungen. Auch wenn vor der Kamera Tränen fließen, wenn Emotionen und Ängste sichtbar werden, hat man nicht das Gefühl, Voyeur zu sein. Stattdessen lernt man die ProtagonistInnen kennen, erfährt etwas über ihr Leben und darüber, wie schwer es ist, das eigene Land zu verlassen und im neuen Land anzukommen. Der Film nimmt mit, berührt emotional, macht wütend, macht Hoffnung, weil er drei junge Menschen beschreibt, die Unvorstellbares erleben mussten und daran nicht zerbrechen.“ (Jörg Meyer, Neues Deutschland)

Im Anschluss an das Film-Screening gibt es ein Q&A mit den Filmschaffenden und Protagonist*innen.

Training: Refugees in Europe
Feb. 3 – Feb. 12 ganztägig

        

About the project:

Millions of people are on the move worldwide as a result of war, discrimination, social inequality, climate change and economic deprivation in the hope to find a better future elsewhere. At the same time there is no clear European strategy helping to deal with those problems fostered by the “global north”, but a policy of fighting refugees by closing and militarizing borders and transit countries and criminalizing rescue helpers at sea. The refugees who manage to enter the European Union are confronted with tightened laws, with the demoralizing & protracting procedure for granting the right of asylum, with social exclusion, racism and stereotypes. Additional the rising right-wing populist movements, the anti-Muslim discourses, xenophobia and fake news in media foster violence and encourage people to crackdown on refugees, migrants and their supporters.

But the immigration of hundred of thousands of people to Europe brought as well new perspectives of self-organization and empowerment to the communities. Many progressive projects were starting all over Europe during the last year supporting, empowering and fighting for better conditions and freedom of all people in and outside Europe. With our training we want to have a closer look on the new approaches, networks and on best-practice examples of inclusion. We will create a space for exchange for participants with different perspectives and privileges, who are affected in various forms of discrimination. For this successful exchange and learning process allparticipants should be actively involved in processes of inclusion,in (self-)empowerment projects for refugeesand/or migrants and/orin contact with migration (self-)organizations or even part ofmigration self-organizations. We will involve youth workers, facilitators, youth leaders and activists with and without ownmigration and/or flight experiences.

When?
