[:de]Erprobungsworkshop neuer postkolonialer Bildungsmethoden[:en]Trial out workshop of new postcolonial educational approach[:] @ tagungswerk im KuBiZ

In the framework of a project „Postcolonial educational perspectives on global racism and resistance“ with part of the Chilean and Sudanese activist communities in Berlin, we were working on a method for political education to reflect on antidiscrimination (principally against migrants) with a perspective that tries to include strongly the role that plays colonialism.
We want to have an implementations of the method, so we invite you to participate in a workshop/meeting.
You will have the opportunity to learn and experience this new methodology in practice and give us your valuable feedback. You will also get to know some of the development team and facilitators of this project, so that we can further develop our networks on these topics.

Kein Frieden in Sicht?
Mar 2 @ 11:00 – 16:00

                                   Kein Frieden in Sicht?

Perspektiven auf Eelam-tamilischen und sudanesischen Widerstand

Fragt man Europäer:innen nach aktuellen Konflikten werden die wenigsten Menschen auf den Sudan, Tamil Eelam und Sri Lanka kommen.
 
 Im Sudan tobt seit April 2023 ein Krieg zwischen sudanesischen Streitkräften & den Rapid Support Forces und führt zu Vertrei
bung, Flucht und Zerstörung. War der Sudan vorher selbst ein sicherer Ort für Menschen aus den Nachbarländern, zwingt der Krieg diese nun weiter zu ziehen.
 
 Die Eelam Tamilen fordern die Aufarbeitung der Kriegsverbrechen während des Bürgerkrieges und dass
die Verantwortlichen zur Rechenschaft dafür gezogen werden. Gleichzeitig kämpfen sie für Gleichberechtigung, das Ende der Besatzung und Selbstbestimmung. Dies geschieht in einer Zeit von wirtschaftlicher Krise und Protesten gegen Machthabende, die maßgeblich von der singhalesischen Mehrheitsbevölkerung getragen werden.
 
 Welche Perspektiven auf die unterschiedlichen Freiheitskämpfe gibt es? Welche Gemeinsamkeiten im Sudan & Tamil Eelam hinsichtlich Akteur:innen, Aktionsformen, Zielen und Wirksamkeit gibt es?
Wo sind die kolonialen Kontinuitäten zu erkennen? Ist es möglich antikoloniale Bündnisse und Solidaritätspraktiken in Deutschland zu finden?

Foster young life in rural areas – learn from the past, create for the future II @ Hoher Meißner
Jul 13 – Jul 21 all-day

Erasmus+ TRAINING WORKSHOP
13.-21. July 2024 in Hoher Meißner (Germany)
Available (only) for residents from Italy, Germany and Austria!
This training workshop is the second part of a project that began last summer. Participation does not require knowledge from the first part of the workshop. An update for the newcomers will be provided at the beginning of the workshop.
In this workshop we will reflect about and acquire skills and ideas to bring progress and living perspectives for young people into rural areas. The first activity took place last summer in the Verbania-Ossola area (North-Italy). This year we will meet in Northern Hesse (Germany) in the rural area of Hoher Meißner.
Using creative learning methods and field research we want to exchange about the challenges for young people, which result from the rural exodus, brain drain and overaging of rural villages. Exploitation of nature and a cultural and social decline on the one hand and the growing desire of many young city dwellers for a life close to nature in the countryside on the other hand will be the starting point for our problem investigations and the best practice we will visit. In addition to the beautiful natural surroundings, the Hoher Meißner region is rich in the history of the youth movement and alternative living, working and participation projects that need to be explored.
How can we discover, elaborate and expand practices of social and ecological and sustainable transformation? What is supporting quality of life in the rural areas and how can we contribute to breaking down social and economic barriers and make rural areas more attractive and liveable for young people again? How is youth in rural areas specifically affected by the menace of climate change and environmental protection. Working on these questions we want to enable ourselves to support the creation of inclusive spaces and to promote diversity.
On all these topics we will provide non-formal learning opportunities and best practice social working approaches. We want to learn from each other and together as well as self-reflect and critically analyse our work in our environments.
The participation is free of charge and includes accommodation, food and transportation. It is mainly addressed to youth workers, activists and trainers in non-formal education. Freelancers and people that are interested in this field are welcome as well as people that face discrimination or have fewer opportunities.

The project is closed!

Beyound tropical paradise – Unpacking perceptions of Costa Rica & Brasil
Jul 24 @ 17:00 – 21:00

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
