In Brief

About the project

Empowerment, resilience and taking action in solidarity are central strategies: they contribute to increasing the participation possibilities and opportunities of people with a migration history and their organizations, and work toward inclusive living together in the immigration society. In contrast, racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination make participation in the immigration society more difficult. Reflection and networking are important for people affected by this and for those working in the field.
Therefore, the Laboratory for Empowerment, Resilience and Taking Action in Solidarity  organizes conference events, transfer and networking meetings (workshop discussions) as well as so-called Powerspaces, where empowerment retreat camps and various workshops for people affected by racism are organized. The measures are implemented with actors from civil society, politics, administration, science and the fields of philanthropy and fundraising.
