Many people think that racism doesn’t have anything to do with them. Yet racism affects everyone in a society, albeit in very different ways. For white people, whiteness and belonging to the majority appear “normal” and not particularly worthy of discussion. Often, this isn’t even given a name. At the same time, white people profit from a number of advantages as a result of racism and are complicit with systemic racism – even if this is not always intentional. To effect both personal and structural change requires that white people also critically reflect on, learn about and reassess their own position and socialization. The workshop offers an introduction to introspective examination of racism and one’s own whiteness.

This workshop is aimed at people who see themselves as part of the white majority in society and is open to anyone who would like to participate.

Workshop facilitator: Patricia Oulehla (M.A. in Social and Cultural Anthropology) is a trainer who works in political education. Her particular concentration is on racism, (post-)colonialism and critical whiteness, antisemitism, hate speech and classism. She currently works in practical training at the Kreuzberger Initiative gegen Antisemitismus (“Kreuzberg Initiative Against Antisemitism”).
