Jenseits der Zentren
Challenges and Potentials of Anti-Discrimination Work
HKW Hosts | Workshops, Panel Discussion
This final event in the series deals with anti-discrimination work as a dialogical process. Such work is driven by the desire to contribute to a better world: a world that is less violent, more inclusive, and distributes resources more equally. At the same time, anti-discrimination work also takes place in specific contexts and is bound to certain horizons of knowledge and perception.
Programme:
10:00–15:00
Workshops / Expert Forum
Workshops offer practitioners the opportunity to share their expertise with each other. They focus on the importance of anti-discrimination work in rural, small and medium-sized towns and ask about the conditions, dangers and potential of this work.
19:00-21:00
Panel discussion
Dr. Ibou Diop (Lead Developer of the Colonialism Remembrance Concept for the City of Berlin)
Eren Ünsal (Head of the State Office for Equal Treatment – Against Discrimination)
Tahera Ameer (Programme Director of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation)
Moderation: Max Czollek
What are the current limits of anti-discrimination work in Germany? What exclusions does it create? How can the goals of anti-discrimination work be realized to their full potential? The panel discussion asks how non-centralized knowledge about ‘good practices’ in the mediation and implementation of anti-discrimination work could flow back into the urban centres. What forms can such a dialogical exchange take? Which methods are helpful for this? How to communicate the issues at stake beyond formalized language and exclusionary codes? How to build interfaces and translate the respective practices?
