xenoPHILIA

With this workshop we want to achieve understanding towards strangers. We look at the reasons for flight and learn more about the effects of migration and clarify stereotypes and prejudices.

Due to various recent incidents, demonstrations against immigrants (especially from the Arab or African region), such as PEGIDA, as well as the European influx of right-wing parties and populists, we have set ourselves the task of standing up for strangers and awakening empathy. For this reason, the seminar is called Foreign FRIENDLINESS or xenoPHILIA.

Be sensitive towards refugees and their stories.
