Anti-Racism and Decoloniality
: A training series for development policy organizations and groups.
The training program offered by glokal e.V. enables participants to engage critically with issues of power and racism in the context of decolonial themes within development policy frameworks and structures.
The series imparts the necessary skills for emancipatory, decolonial, and power-critical action in educational and project work, as well as in public relations and event planning. It enables participants to explore alternative courses of action and anti-discriminatory practices.
This also includes raising awareness and reflecting on one’s own work and structures at various levels (individual, societal, and institutional).
The qualification series consists of 5 online seminars.
