With the support of the Partnership for Democracy Westhavelland & Nauen, we are implementing a series of workshops with refugees in the refugee home in Nauen, Brandenburg, in 2024. The topics will include ethical, cultural and political diversity, but also democracy, freedom (of religion, expression, association), individual autonomy, emancipation, tolerance, identity, honor, discrimination, racism, gender equality, homosexuality, as well as the mutual fears of migrants and German citizens. You can find an overview of our deliberative approach here.
