Qualification Series Antiracism and Decoloniality

Antiracism and decoloniality
Qualification series for development organizations and groups.

The qualification of glokal e.V. enables the participants to deal with decolonial topics in development policy contexts and structures in a way that is critical of power and racism.
The series teaches necessary skills for emancipated, decolonial, power-critical action in educational and project work as well as in public relations and event planning. It enables participants to approach alternative possibilities of action and anti-discriminatory practices.
This also includes raising awareness and reflecting on one’s own work or structures at different levels (individual, social and institutional).
