Target Group: People who are interested in how racism works (emotionally and socio-politically). Educators who aim for a deeper understanding of decolonial pedagogy.

Expected prior knowledge: None. Basic terms concerning the general phenomenon of racism could be discussed before we dive deep into the actual topic.
Background & Aims
The workshop consists of three parts, each lead by questions:
Part I: What is racism and how do emotions play a role on this? What is the link to the role of the political educator?
Part II: Where and how could we find colonial structures nowadays?
Part III: How could we address the issues raised in part II respectively overcome those (through civic education)?
Each part works on its own and can be mixed independently.
