About the workshop:

In this interactive 2h long workshop we will look at different forms of political activism using selected examples. Many pictures, videos and experience reports give us an authentic insight into different forms of protest and their theoretical backgrounds. We also deal with the question of what is contemporary and effective and what that actually has to do with us personally. What is direct action, what is the movement action plan? We learn from history and ask ourselves what forms of action are needed today and how we can decorate our room for maneuver with creativity, cakes, loud subwoofers and a bag of confetti in order to build a liberated society based on solidarity.

About the trainer: Jannes Umlauf

Workshops on political education, facilitatation and creative forms of protest. Activ in the climate justice network and for different other projects. My focus is on gender and critical whiteness theories. The Programm „Bildung trifft Entwicklung“ (engl. education meets development, short: BtE) qualifies and arranges speakers for educational events in global learning. One-world topics are made tangible by workshop-facilitators with authentic experiences from the Global South. BtE is committed to provide german-wide possibilities of learning that makes it possible to experience global interrelationships in the learner's worlds. The offers are for different school and extracurricular groups of all ages. For youth activism BtE offers another programm „Junges Engagement“ (young engagement) where you get help, advice and financial support to realize your ideas. Jannes Umlauf is a consulter for this programm.
