glokal’s professional coaching gave our team a clearer perspective on the power imbalances within our international network!

Prof. Dr. Aram Ziai, Development Policy and Postcolonial Studies, University of Kassel 2025

Informative, critical, and absolutely essential. Decolonial and empowering approaches are the key to effective partnership in the North-South context. Anyone who truly wants to bring about change in international cooperation must engage with these postcolonial perspectives. A seminar that will permanently change your perspective!

Participants in the training series, “On Equal Footing? Decolonial and Empowering Approaches in International Cooperation”

For our exhibition on (post-)colonial traces in Duisburg, it was particularly important to us to have an editorial review that was critical of racism and sensitive to diversity. glokal supported us throughout the process with great professional expertise, care, and a great deal of sensitivity.

Our Educational Programs

At glokal e.V., we offer interactive and anti-discrimination educational and counseling programs that address intersectional global power and dominance structures, racism, coloniality, and social justice. Our workshops and lectures are aimed at organizations, initiatives, and individuals engaged with social inequality and structural change.
Our goal is to highlight the differences and similarities among various structures of power, domination, and exploitation, to reflect on how they are intertwined, and to jointly develop strategies for action.
We have collaborated with the following organizations, among others, in the past.

Our workshops are designed to be interactive and hands-on. They are based on methods from the anti-bias approach, social justice training, and critical education.

We offer our presentations for events or for use within organizations.

We support organizations and teams that want to understand and address their structures and/or processes within the workplace as they relate to various power dynamics.

Together with the booking organization—whether it’s a museum, an NGO, or a university—we analyze public relations materials or educational concepts.

Topics

Postcolonial Perspectives on “Development Policy” Issues

Analysis of the structures and content of development cooperation in the context of global injustice and the continuities of colonial power and domination structures, as well as in relation to the participants’ own environments.

Racism

Addressing racism as a societal problem and not (merely) as a problem of individual people. Its historical origins, self-reflection, and the transformation of internal organizational and societal structures.

Empowerment

A space for learning and self-empowerment for people who have experienced racism and other forms of discrimination, networking with like-minded individuals, and a shared search for ways to take action.

Critical analysis of work structures (including process facilitation)

Analysis and reflection on the everyday work environment from a postcolonial, intersectional, and critical perspective on power, racism, and domination, as well as the collaborative development of concrete courses of action for the participants.

Other Topics

Other topics can also be addressed from a postcolonial perspective that critiques power, racism, and domination, such as racism in text and visual language and climate justice.
