Addressing the topics of “migration, flight and integration” is often characterised by emotions, prejudices, intolerance and exclusion. Therefore, a space is needed where personal insecurities and questions can be expressed and alternative action strategies can be developed. The course offers space for confrontation and learning. Accordingly, experts and practitioners relay knowledge and methods for a confident approach to diversity in one’s work environment as well as private environment.

“This course offers a great opportunity to deal interactively and reflexively with your own roots, to question your own prejudices and to get to know the foreign (what is rather in you) – beyond that there are exciting speakers, experiments and enough space to exchange experiences”.

Lars Roesky,
Participant

Target groups

The training is aimed at persons from the educational sector (kindergarten teachers, school teachers, etc.), youth work, community and public administration, social and health sector, voluntary and professional employees in the integrational field, as well as from the business sector (service sector, human resources, etc.) and everyone who is confronted with diversity and intercultural issues in his or her professional and/or private environments and wishes to acquire respective competences.
