Workshops 2021

Theme and Focus

In 2021, three workshops were held in March, July, and September. Two of the workshops took place online (#Corona) and dealt with the topics of environment and gender. Our last workshop on power dynamics was finally held offline in Albania.

First Workshop: Environment

Especially in the first workshop we spent a lot of time and methods to make the group feel connected despite the online format. Online formats are very difficult to implement – shorter attention spans, sometimes poor internet connections and not all of us are IT nerds who understand all the tools equally. With interactive methods, we still managed to get our participants excited and create a sense of togetherness.

Second Workshop: Gender

One of our methods is the peer-to-peer exchange. Therefore, part of our second workshop was a bar camp where our participants could offer their own sessions. Eight participants, in teams or alone, offered sessions on urban space, female and male stereotypes, art and culture in media, podcasting on sensitive issues, and the concept of gender. We were impressed by the knowledge and touched by the very personal experiences that many of our participants shared. Listen to what the other participants thought of it:

Third Workshop: Power Dynamics

Colonialism has left deep marks in the WANA region, so for the third workshop, we looked at post-colonial structures. With ten people on site in Albania’s capital Tirana and eight people online, we started off in our hybrid workshop. We also worked with the local organization Tek Bunkeri. Together with Albanian activists, there was a lot of space for exchange and discussion.

Postcolonial: “Post” means “after”.

Post-colonial with a hyphen (-): The term describes the world order after (= post) and influenced by the era of colonialism.

Postcolonial without a hyphen (-): The term describes an emancipatory discourse that aims to overcome post-colonial order, which means to get rid of colonial heritage and thought patterns.
