Hi everybody

As part of the 15th Action Week against Racism of the City of Bern, I organized three workshops on the topic of racism and racist hate speech in university context.

Two workshops are aimed specifically at students and university lecturers and staff members of Colour and those who experienced racism. In this empowerment-workshops, a safer and braver space will be created in which experiences and concerns as well as perspectives and visions for a racism-free university will be exchanged and developed. We will empower each other and work together to develop strategies for overcoming experiences of racism and racist hate speech. These workshops for students and staff members will be held in English.

The third workshop is open to all members of the university and serves as a space for reflection on the topics of individual, structural and institutional racism and exclusion in education. We will reflect on often unconscious discriminatory and racist mechanisms and develop possible courses of action. This workshop will be held in German.

Further information can be found under the following link or in the attached flyer: University: Action week against racism 2025 at the University of Bern - University of Bern

I would be grateful if you could help promote the workshops through all possible channels and display the flyers in your offices. It would also be great if you could directly refer students and employees who experience racism to the empowerment workshops. And I hope to see some of you at the empowerment workshop on March 20 or 21.

Thank you very much for spreading the word!

Best regards

Gina
