Passing it On – Winter School

November 15th/16th 2019
In cooperation with the Nachbarschaftshaus Urbanstraße
The Winter School marks the end of the training and empowerment project »Passing it On«. The focus of the project is on connecting theory and practice and in particular on the joint development of individual and collective policies of action within marginalised communities in the past and present.
In the two-day Winter School, activists and experts from the fields of politics, art, culture and science will further deepen the historically informed space that was – to a certain extent – created within the framework of »Passing it On«. We will discuss previous core themes with participants in four panels; both interdisciplinary and across generations and communities.
What forms of alliances and solidarity can we draw on? How can gaps and overwriten (his)stories be made visible in both hegemonic and marginalised discourses, narratives and histories of resistance. How can we deal with these? What similarities and contradictions can be found in the context of political movements and collective identification processes ? How can we share and develop strategies of „counter-narratives“ and empowerment?
These are some of the points that we will jointly considered in the Winter School. It is an important concern of ours to find critically informed forms of exchange and learning whose impact can continue to have a lasting effect.
