Reclaim Your Power – Empowerment Workshop for (international) BIPoC students / students who experience racism
For many BIPoC students living in Germany, that is for Black students and students of Color, racism is part of everyday life – even at university. Often, we are left alone with this feeling or even worse, those experiences are denied or not taken seriously. Rarely any university in Germany has official structures where students can go to when racism happens.
With this Empowerment Workshop we want to create a safer space where we can talk and reflect about racism and empowerment. We will take a look at how experiencing racism affects our lives as well as understand the effects of structural racism. We also want to reflect strategies we use to deal with racism as well as talk about community solidarity and support.
The workshop is a safer space and addresses BIPoC students, i.e. students who are affected by racism in Germany. BIPoC is a political self-designation of people who experience racism. It means Black, Indigenous and People of Color. It is not about skin color, but about a social position. It is not synonymous with migration history because not all people with migration history experience racism if they are white. For white students, students who do not experience racism, there is a Critical Whiteness Workshop (Stud.IP Nr. 63030 W).
