SUMMARY:Generating Democratic Legitimacy | Come learn about decolonial governance with me on a boat!
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about decolonial approaches to governance\, participation and organizational culture on a boat! 🚢\nWhat does democracy look like when it is rooted in equity\, care\, and collective accountability rather than hierarchy\, exclusion\, or technocratic control? This workshop invites participants to explore how creative\, decolonial approaches to bureaucracy can strengthen democratic legitimacy – not by abandoning institutions\, but by transforming how they function and whom they serve. \nIn many systems\, bureaucracy has become a symbol of delay\, opacity\, and disconnection. In others\, it is entirely absent\, leaving communities without protection or recourse. But there is another way. By working collaboratively across disciplines and experiences\, we will examine how bureaucracies can become spaces of trust\, transparency\, and responsiveness. Together\, we will design strategies for inclusive governance that resist colonial patterns of extraction\, surveillance\, and silencing\, and instead foster participation\, fairness\, and shared power. \nThis is not a typical policy session. Set on a boat and designed to be as fluid and open as the waters around us\, this workshop will centre lived experience\, imagination\, and critical reflection. We welcome those working in public institutions\, civil society\, grassroots movements\, and beyond to join us in building cultures of governance where legitimacy is earned through relational practices\, not rigid rules. \nLet’s reimagine bureaucracy as a tool for liberation – one that serves people first. \nCome aboard and co-create systems worthy of the trust we ask citizens to give! \n🌊💬 \nTime: June 5th\, 13:30 – 16:00 CEST \nGet your tickets here: https://creativebureaucracy.org/tickets (DM me for a voucher!)

SUMMARY:Decolonial Dialogues: Gender\, Press Censorship\, and Resistance in Times of Repression
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an all-women panel titled Decolonial Dialogues: Gender\, Press Censorship\, and Resistance in Times of Repression on Thursday\, 15th May at 13:00. \nIn conflicts around the world\, journalists are often at the frontlines of resistance and the first to come under fire for reporting the truth. In this event\, we’ll be learning directly from leading journalists and human rights activists — who reported from Syria under Assad\, Egypt\, Colombia and Germany — on prevailing against gendered censorship under repressive countries that penalize the truth. \nLearn from their stories and experiences\, the specific risks that female journalists and activists are exposed to\, and how they practice resistance today. Most importantly\, we’ll discuss the path forward and the importance of maintaining hope to carve a better future. \nTo register\, follow this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfH235yto4FZ-UIP_y-7HMq9DVMUFRPVvAyF_GFdYX0J-f1Ng/viewform?usp=sharing \n// \nShared on behalf of Solidarity Collective.

SUMMARY:Decolonizing Finance: Breaking the Cycle of Debt
DESCRIPTION:Why are so many African nations still drowning in debt? And more importantly\, who benefits from this system? \nThe truth is\, the global financial system wasn’t built to serve Africa’s interests. It was designed to keep former colonies economically dependent and ensure wealth continues to flow out of the Global South and into the hands of former colonial powers. \nIn this interactive workshop\, we’ll break down how institutions like the IMF and World Bank shape economic policies that prioritize creditors over people\, and how these policies keep countries trapped in debt. We’ll also explore the hidden colonial legacies in global finance\, from unfair credit ratings to resource exploitation. \nBut this isn’t just about identifying the problem – it’s also about solutions. We’ll discuss: \n\nWhat a decolonized financial system could look like\nHow movements for debt cancellation and financial sovereignty are gaining traction\nWays you can advocate for fairer economic policies and support African-led financial independence\n\nThis is for activists\, policymakers\, students\, and anyone who believes that true decolonization must include economic justice. If you’re ready to challenge the status quo and imagine a world where African nations control their own wealth\, then this workshop is for you. \nLocation: Online/Zoom\nRegistration: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/6893452473?pwd=SWpfYi9TUC9DWTlhS0xtK3QvcmtGdz09 \nLet’s shift the balance of power – one conversation at a time. ✊🏾

SUMMARY:Decolonize Politics: A Workshop by Eden Tadesse
DESCRIPTION:You know that feeling when someone makes big decisions about your life without even asking you? Well\, for generations\, that’s been the story for millions of Africans. The heavy hand of colonialism is still leaving its mark on everything from how we run our countries to how we see ourselves. \nAs an African woman living in Europe\, I’ve often felt the weight of history pressing on my present. I often think about that infamous Berlin Conference – a room filled with European powers slicing up Africa as if it were a pie\, without a single African voice in the room. It wasn’t just a division of land; it was the start of a legacy that still haunts us: borders drawn without care for cultures\, systems dismantled and nations left in total chaos. But here’s the question that drives me: What if we could change this? What if we could rewrite the rules\, amplify marginalized voices\, and truly build equity where division once ruled? \nThat’s exactly what we’ll tackle in this workshop. We’ll dig into how we got here and\, more importantly\, how to create a future where power is shared\, and justice isn’t just a nice idea – it’s reality. \nWant to help reshape the future of politics and make it work for all of us? Join me on February 11th. Learn more and get involved at https://decolonizepolitics.org \nLanguage: English \nWhen? February 11\, 6:30–8:30pm \nWhere? Online\, dial-in link:https://uni-hamburg.zoom.us/j/64974560620?pwd=76Za33l0qITlFxaxywB6HORaSb45fo.1 \n\n\n\n\nBackground: Between January 31 and February 16 the Anti-Racism-Weeks will take place – be there and join the online events: https://letztegeneration.org/antirassismuswochen/
