In cooperation with the "offener Prozess" project, JoDDiD is organizing a workshop entitled "Anders besser?! Consequences of the NSU for education, training and further education", which is aimed at employees in education, training and further education in the justice system. Numerous committees of inquiry have dealt with the NSU complex and have shown the state authorities neuralgic points and opportunities for optimization. Against this background, the workshop will address the following questions, among others: How can the lessons learned from the NSU complex be incorporated into initial, further and continuing training and used for future administrative action? Which practices and methods can make public sector employees more aware of anti-democratic processes, including hidden ones? How can the teaching of democracy-enhancing narratives, diversity-oriented and discrimination-sensitive educational content be strengthened? The workshop will provide an impulse response with practical examples and present approaches to applied didactics that were developed as handouts in the "Open Process" educational project funded by the Free State of Saxony.
