6.11.-15.11.2014 in Berlin
As participants are suitable: Youth workers and people who work with youths/adults in non-formal political education or who want to do this in future.
The program:
25 years after the division of Europe and the cold war, Berlin is still a central place of remembrance. This training will take place in the week of the 25. anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9th 2014 with lots of interesting events in Berlin on this topic.
But which pedagogical models are adapted in this places of remembrance and events? How is history interfered? Which perspectives and interpretations are dominant? Which perspectives stay hidden?
And after all – how can an emancipatory pedagogical way of remembrance look like?
During the training, we’ll get to know, try out and evaluate different pedagogical methods, which deal with the history of the European east west conflict. These new approaches, we can use afterwards in our work in political education, to be able to deal constructively with this history and to avoid and counteract prejudices between East- and West-Europe.
The activities during the Training include excursions to GDR-places of remembrance, exchange with contemporary witnesses and creative biographical work methods about the topic east-west.
The training should contribute to a constructive dealing with Cultures of remembrance related to the east-west conflict and it’s current consequences.
