Roots and Borders

Training Course

2-9 September 2022 | Berlin, Germany

RaB deals with the topic of migration, identity and demarcation through borders. During workshops and seminar units as well as a training on photography the participants deal with the topic of migration and individual stories of people.

Minimum 82.4 million people are currently displaced globally. These are numbers of the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, that does not include the amount of people currently escaping from the war in Ukraine. But these numbers are already illustrating the dramatic situation many people on earth currently have to face.

The flight movement from the war in Ukraine caused a high solidarity among people in different European countries, first and foremost in Poland, where a high number of people firstly arrived. Unfortunately this is not always a given. People having migratory backgrounds are often confronted with rejection and prejudices.

During this training we want to throw light on the situation of people having diverse backgrounds and who have undergone the fate of escape and war. By presenting various  methods of non-formal education we want to show professionals of youth work how to give young people an understanding of the topic.  Thereby we will deal with the method of participatory photography. Furthermore we will work with the method of Restorative Circles that allows to bring a deeper understanding of opposing opinions existing in a community. Additionally we are going to deal with the concepts of identity and migration and you will get the chance to benefit from the different experiences with youth work existing among trainers and participants.

You will learn how:

To bring together different perspectives on the topic of migration and bordersHow to approach young people and provide knowledge through non-formal education methods

How to use conflict resolution methods such as Restorative Circles in order to mediate in sensitive dispute situations

To promote tolerance and better understanding of cultures and what helps us to better understand the perspectives and stories of others

To develop critical thinking and grow awareness of the situation of people with a migratory background

Following values lie behind our work:

the individual sense of responsibility as the foundation for a democratic civil society in Europe,
ethical action respecting universal human rights,

Action-oriented education, learning by experience, and debating current political and social issues are characteristics of our educational approach.
