Module 10 taught about »Empowerment & Allyship«
Module 10 of the qualification program was successfully held on April 6 and 7, 2024 and focused on the topic of empowerment and its relationship to allyship.
Gifty Nyame Tabiri introduced the session by exploring the concept and historical context of empowerment and sharing her personal perspective. Denise Lee then explored the concept of allyship and its connection to intersectionality. Through interactive exercises, participants practiced communicating boundaries in different everyday scenarios to better understand empowerment and allyship.
The following day, April 7, the program continued with participants splitting into two groups to further explore empowerment and allyship. Gifty Nyame Tabiri led discussions on migrant empowerment and encouraged participants to reflect on their migration experiences and express themselves through creative writing. Meanwhile, Denise Lee emphasized the importance of self-care and stress management using methods such as the Wheel of Emotions and creative writing exercises.
Module 10 concluded with participants reflecting on the weekend workshop, including the new insights and methods they had learned.

Dorit Machell and Juliana Odamea Asare give workshop on »Accessibility of civic education/human rights education and educational centres« for the German Institute for Human Rights
In the workshop, which will take place in the framework of an event organised by the German Institute for Human Rights, Dorit Machell and Juliana Odamea Asare will share their experiences in relation to accessibility of civic/human rights education and educational institutions from migrant and differently positioned positions and jointly develop steps that educational institutions can take to improve accessibility based on the challenges they face.
The European Youth Education and Youth Exchange Centre has been offering a qualification programme in human rights education since 2016, and in its current form since 2020, by inviting migrants and refugees in particular to enter the professional field of human rights education/political education. The differently intersectionally positioned team explores together what HRD can look like and what is needed to make it inclusive for everyone. Central to this process is the question: How can educational institutions, the professional field and traditional political education practices become more accessible for people with a history of migration and flight? In this workshop, we would like to share our experiences and come a step closer to answering this question together.
This workshop will be held in English with possible translation into German. Further information can be found on the website of the German Institute for Human Righshare on Facebook · veröffentlicht am 26. March 2024
Trainers of our project at the Lyonel Feininger High School in Mellingen
On Friday, 22 March, trainers from our project were in Mellingen at the Lyonel Feininger High School. The school organised a project day there, to which our trainers contributed workshops on topics such as diversity, disability and prejudice. In addition to long-established trainers, participants from the current year of the qualification programme were also able to implement their first workshops.
They were supported on site by Mirjam Elomda. Mirjam works for Migranetz Thüringen and provides counselling in cases of discrimination, also with a focus on rural areas. This resulted in a great collaboration with the common goal of combating discrimination in rural areas of Thuringia.
