Here you find an overview of upcoming seminars and trainings that we and our partner organisation OBUK e.V. organize. OBUK e.V. is responsible for the content of the seminars and workshops offered by them.
Summer is travel time: many people who can afford it spend this time in other countries. We want to get to know them, interact with the people there, try unfamiliar foods and experience adventures. When we go on a trip, we carry a lot of expectations, assumptions and ideas about the destination in our backpacks. This is the starting point of our journey, the one we want to take you to:
How do we construct our perceptions of places we do not know? How do we perpetuate stereotypes about these places in our everyday experiences? How can we reflect on our privilege when we visit these places or when we communicate with people who come from them?
In this workshop we aim to answer these questions through discussion of the contexts of Costa Rica and Brazil. What are the differences in the perception of both? What do they have in common besides the fact that both countries are seen as tropical paradises?
The workshop is part of the Diversify! project and will be -together with the workshop at the 26th of July- the last activity in this project. It is open for all people, pre-knowledge is not needed.
The project is funded by BMZ via Engagement Global, LEZ Berlin and Heidehof-Stiftung.
The main language will be English (translations to Spanish and German are partly possible). Registration is needed, please send an email to: info@solarev.org
