Qualification
Discrimination affects not only people who experience it themselves, but everyone – even if not all of us equally!
Anti-discrimination work needs many active people who are willing to use their abilities, capabilities, and resources!
The next free dates for workshops and lectures are possible again from January 2023.
We are currently revising our offer, which you will soon find on our site!
A Discrimination Critical Perspective
- is seldom thought about and challenges previous knowledge, concepts and traditional values and norms
- Leads to uncertainty, can generate negative emotions, resistance and defensiveness
- Is a (life)long process
Our offers are carried out by differently positioned trainers in mixed spaces. This means that these spaces are not free of power inequality. Knowledge production is always connected with power: Which knowledge counts, who is heard and who is questioned, who is adequately compensated and which knowledge is exploited? All of these questions affect participants on the ground in different ways.
In order for everyone to work well in a workshop we require:
A willingness …
… for critical self-reflection and confrontation with inner resistances and defense mechanisms
…to critically reflect on one’s own social positioning and to assume responsibility
…to help shape and support a mindful learning space
… to participate voluntarily in the offer
Discrimination as a term is widely used – but often without knowing exactly what it means. In addition, ignorance, insecurity, excessive demands or resistance mean that discrimination is often not recognized, not taken seriously or played down.
Our aim is to establish a professional understanding of discrimination that focuses on the social and institutional dimension.
Possible topics
- Discrimination from an experiential perspective with focus on social power relations, if necessary focus on a specific characteristic (racism, adultism, sexism etc.)
- Discrimination in the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)
