Colonialism, neo-colonialism and decoloniality from the perspective of formerly colonised countries.
17. – 19. November 2023
english
The EJBW offers a two-part training programme for people interested in and for actors in the field of colonialism. It is organised in cooperation with the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb).
Aims and contents
- Further education and training on the topics of colonialism, neocolonialism, postcolonialism and decoloniality.
- To put the topic more on the agenda, especially the perspective of the formerly colonised countries.
- Developing ideas and educational offers for political education.
- Networking of actors and interested parties in the field.
Are you interested or are you already active in this field? Would you like to deepen and broaden your knowledge, not only from a German perspective, but especially from a non-German, non-European, global or BIPoC perspective? (BIPoC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour). Would you like to learn more about colonialism from the perspective of colonised people and how this history interweaves with German and European colonial histories?
The training programme offers the opportunity to learn, exchange knowledge, network and develop ideas for your own educational programmes that can be carried out in schools, for example. The academy is bilingual in German and English.
