"Walking the talk" – putting words into action. Sounds easy. But in organizations or groups, it's often challenging to truly implement the core values they publicly uphold. Societal influences and external pressures frequently lead to reproducing precisely what is rejected.
In this event, we will explore the following questions: From organizational culture to target groups – how can we build and embed decolonial structures and practices within our organization? Who is involved – and in what way? What does it mean to be a "learning organization"? What prerequisites are helpful? How can we avoid being overwhelmed? Are concepts such as the so-called "Whole Institution Approach" helpful?
Valerie Viban and Christina Schug from Bread for the World will speak about these issues from their organization's perspective. The event will also serve as a forum for exchanging experiences.
