We\u2019ll occasionally\u2014and as needed\u2014create safer spaces to accommodate the unique role of BIPoCs and migrant-diasporic participants. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, project work with \u201cpartners\u201d from Abya Yala is structured on a highly unequal basis. Funding and guidelines come from Germany, and people from Germany are often deployed to partner countries even though they lack knowledge of local structures. But even in direct collaboration on the ground or in teams here in Germany, racism and other power dynamics are (unconsciously) reproduced. Addressing this reproduction is a comprehensive process. It begins with self-empowerment against these conditions on the part of Black and people of color, and with self-reflection on the part of white people. The voices of migrant and diaspora actors are indispensable for critical discourses on the decolonization of partnership work.     <\/p>\n<p>The goal is to work together to develop ideas for alternative courses of action and practices in \u201cpartnership work\u201d that are sensitive to racism and power dynamics and that empower people.

Even organizations and initiatives active in development policy and medicine are not immune to this problem, and there is simply a lack of knowledge: To help raise awareness in this area, we are offering five webinars (5 UE\/4 hours each) in 2024 in German or English. Using scholarly articles and historical context, we will explore the topic in interactive webinars and workshops.  <\/p>\n<p>The goal is to collaboratively develop ideas for alternative approaches to healthcare that challenge racism and power structures in international health work. In addition, the webinars provide a foundation for examining racist and colonial continuities in global healthcare. <\/p>\n<p>The target audience includes stakeholders from development policy and medical NGOs, groups, and initiatives, as well as activists working to promote global justice in the healthcare system. BIPoC and activists from migrant-<wbr\/>-led self-organizations are expressly invited. <\/p>\n<p>The webinars\/workshops are allocated using a solidarity-based pricing model, so that NGOs and initiatives with more limited financial resources can benefit just as much as those with greater financial means. Therefore, we have initially set a price range of \u20ac600\u2013\u20ac800 per webinar for 5 UE\/4 hours (with two glokal speakers each).<br \/>\nAs always, our prices are negotiable. Of course, we also welcome transparent inquiries from those who would like to support our political work with a small additional contribution.<br \/>\nYou can find more information about the project <a href=\"https:\/\/glokal.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=6d284bcfe16bd31546d620273&#038;id=04f6d49768&#038;e=75e932e24a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/glokal.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D6d284bcfe16bd31546d620273%26id%3D04f6d49768%26e%3D75e932e24a&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1709747347566000&#038;usg=AOvVaw10U5tTCUSCSk2XMcOfwc8x\">HERE<\/a>.
