School Workshops<\/h3>\n

In our workshops and project days, we sensitise pupils to the topics of racism and colonialism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the workshops, colonial history and racism are analysed and brought into the present. Our speakers provide critical and non-Eurocentric perspectives that can supplement the often inadequate content of textbooks. They work in an age-appropriate way and with humour. They also convey a realistic and differentiated understanding of Africa.<\/p>\n

We are also happy to advise and support students directly on request.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” el_class=”angebot” el_id=”angebote-lehrer”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1701351820764{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.africavenir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3440-min.jpeg?id=3232) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”rechts”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Trainings for Teachers<\/h3>\n

Our training courses offer suggestions for reflection, background information and teaching materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aim is to develop a personal connection to the topic and your own attitude. We provide suggestions on how colonial history and racism can be dealt with in the classroom. You will be supported in gaining confidence in the topics and in the use of language. You will learn creative methods that are easy to use. We also address the question of how anti-racism can be strengthened in everyday school life beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

Teachers are welcome to contact us for additional advice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” el_class=”angebot” el_id=”angebote-eltern”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1701775905724{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.africavenir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Eltern_2.jpeg?id=3315) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”rechts”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Networking Meetings for Parents & Children<\/h3>\n

We offer counselling, empowerment and networking meetings for parents and children.<\/p>\n

We offer meetings for parents of Black children and children of colour where they can exchange ideas about everyday life in schools in a racist system, network and encourage each other. These meetings are led by speakers and supported by inputs. We offer interpreting if required. At the same time, empowerment workshops are organised for the parents’ children.<\/p>\n

We are also happy to organise anti-racism workshops for parents on request.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”portfolio-fliesstext” el_id=”beratung”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
