Future Workshop: Global Ideas Against Racism – Implementation Phase

As part of the Global Ideas Against Racism project, we would like to invite you to the third and last online workshop of our series. We will use the method of the ‘future workshop’. The goal is to develop ideas for anti-racism work together with you in a participatory process. In doing so, this workshop will focus in the upcoming session on an implementation phase. Previously, in the first phase, we have collected points of criticism that encompass problem situations concerning racism in different regions of the world. The second session addressed a fantasy/utopia phase in which we developed imaginative proposals for solutions, regardless of constraints, laws, economic and social obstacles. Now we want to elaborate further on how we get from critique to utopia.

Future Workshop: Global Ideas Against Racism

As part of the Global Ideas Against Racism project, we would like to invite you to the first of three workshops. We will use the method of the ‘future workshop’. The goal is to develop ideas for anti-racism work together with you in a participatory process. In doing so, this workshop will first focus on a ‘criticism’ phase. In the two subsequent workshops, which will take place in summer and fall 2021, the focus will be on a ‘fantasy’ and an ‘implementation’ phase. In the first workshop everything will revolve around the criticism of current conditions. We will collect and cluster your points of criticism. Please tell us in this workshop what bothers you, what is annoying, what is going badly and where there are problems regarding racism. Together we try to formulate the criticisms as precisely as possible and to group the different concerns.
