A new chapter has been added to the brochure, which illustrates the complexity of traveling to the Global South from a perspective of Color. In addition, the brochure now features a more legible font and is available online as an accessible document.  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Link to the article:<\/span><br \/>\nWhen we travel or even spend an extended period of time in the Global South, we have so many experiences and want to share them with our friends and family back home, letting them in on our adventures, experiences, and impressions. Whether we\u2019re traveling as tourists\u2014for example, as backpackers\u2014or working there, doing volunteer work, or completing an internship, we take photos and share updates via email, social media, newsletters, or our own blogs\u2014we share how we\u2019re doing, what moves us, surprises us, makes us happy, or frustrates us. Once we\u2019re back home, the storytelling and sharing of photos usually really get going.<br \/>\nThis completely revised brochure offers an introduction for people who want to reflect on the extent to which their perceptions and accounts of the Global South are entangled in racist and colonial structures. It introduces key topics such as colonialism and racism and addresses questions of one\u2019s own social positioning. It highlights the power of language and images and identifies some of the narrative patterns that frequently appear in reports. Guiding questions and suggestions enable readers to critically examine their own ideas, ways of speaking, and images and, based on this, to develop alternative courses of action.     <\/p>\n<p>The brochure is available for download as a PDF <a href=\"https:\/\/glokal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BroschuereMitkolonialenGruessen2013.pdf\">here<\/a>:<br \/>\n.

Through our work, we have noticed time and again that many of the reports, blogs, and images do not match, and in fact contradict, the content of the educational support and the goals of the organizations and support programs. While, for example, the topics of prejudice and racism are often a concern for trainers at accompanying seminars, people and countries of the global south are predominantly portrayed stereotypically and racist in the reports &#8211; whether consciously or unconsciously. All of this is, of course, part of how the global South is generally represented in and by the global North, e.g. in textbooks or in the media. Our own experiences as travelers, reports from friends and acquaintances, and the knowledge that participants of volunteer services in the global south often spend a large part of their free time communicating with friends and family and reporting on their experiences led us to dedicate ourselves to this topic.    <\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h4>With colonial regards \u2026<br \/>\nReports and narratives from stays abroad through the lens of anti-racist critique (publication available only in German)<\/h4>\n<p>When we travel to the global South or stay there for extended periods of time, we experience a great deal and have lot of new impressions, which we then often want to share with our friends and family back home. Whether we are backpacking, have a job, do volunteer service or an internship &#8211; we take photographs and write e-mails, letters, postcards or express in various social media or blogs things that move and surprise us, make us happy or are irritating. Upon returning home, we often truly start off with showing photos and telling stories.  <\/p>\n<p>This booklet aims to provide the first steps into thinking and perhaps understanding how our perceptions and reports of the global South are mixed up with colonial and racist structures. It familiarises the readers with central issues such as power relations within the global context, colonialism and racism, as well as the influence of images and language. Further, some of the narrative patterns that commonly emerge in reports from stays abroad are also analyzed. Questions and suggestions allow the readers to self-critically zoom into their own perceptions, manners of speaking and image taking, and help to develop alternative courses of action.   <\/p>\n<p>The booklet can be downloaded for free as a PDF <a href=\"https:\/\/glokal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/BroschuereMitkolonialenGruessen2013.pdf\">[here]<\/a>.
