‘The culture of remembrance regarding crimes against humanity in the context of a society of migration’
The culture of remembrance regarding crimes against humanity in the context of a migrant society
Collective cultures of remembrance concerning crimes against humanity – such as the Holocaust, colonialism or Stalinism – are often pitted against one another. Remembrance of one seems to preclude remembrance of other major crimes against humanity. In a society of migration, we must move away from an ‘either/or’ mindset. Rather, we need a ‘both/and’ perspective, underpinned by empathy for and solidarity with those against whom these crimes against humanity were directed.
In educational contexts in particular, this must be combined with an openness and an attitude that make it possible to incorporate and acknowledge personal experiences as well (such as experiences of persecution in other countries of origin or experiences of violence whilst fleeing). Fundamentally, the aim should be to develop an understanding of how crimes against humanity could have come about and what we can all do together today to ensure that they do not happen again (in this or a similar form).
As is customary in the practical workshop, the topic will be explored together with practitioners and academics using a specific case study as a basis, and options for reflection and action will be developed collaboratively.
The academic perspective will be provided by retired Professor Dr Rudolf Leiprecht (social pedagogue and researcher on racism) in a short keynote presentation.

Practical workshop on Wednesday, 29 October 2025 from 2-4 p.m. s.t.
How to deal with radicalisation and right-wing extremism among young people?
The figures in the latest report on the protection of the constitution are once again startling: The potential number of people on the extreme right has risen by 10,000 in the past year, with right-wing extremist youth groups in particular becoming increasingly popular. How should and can professional educational practice counter the phenomenon of young people being radicalised to the extreme right?
The aim of the practical workshop is to provide educational staff who are confronted with young people expressing and/or positioning themselves on the (extreme) right or even turning to the far-right scene with initial pointers and options for action.
As is usual in the practice workshop, the topic will be approached together with people from practice and academia on the basis of a specific case and options for action will be developed together.
Dr Christian Pfeil, coordinator of the civil society exit and distancing programme "Distance - Ausstieg Rechts", will provide the academic perspective in a short keynote speech.

Practical workshop on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, 2-4 p.m. (s. t.):
"Who can say that properly - without an accent?"
What people say is judged more by its external form than by its actual content. What sounds like an accent is judged differently depending on the origin of the accent - even in educational contexts. The idea of the only correct use of language plays a major role here. It is therefore important to shed light on the extent to which the idea of "perfect language" and possible "deviations" from it ensure that people are included or marginalised - and what this has to do with us.
The upcoming practical workshop "Pedagogical professionalism and diversity awareness in the migration society" would like to address this question together with people from practice and academia. As usual in the practice workshop, the topic will be approached on the basis of a specific case and options for action will be developed together.
Dr İnci Dirim, Professor of German as a Second Language at the University of Vienna, Institute for German Studies and Institute for Teacher Education, will provide the academic perspective in a short keynote speech.

"How do I address racism without reproducing racism?" (repeat date)
Educational professionals are repeatedly confronted with racist behaviour and statements in their everyday lives and are (co-)involved accordingly in the context of power relations. It is therefore important to address the topic of "racism" in the classroom, for example, and to discuss and reflect on it both preventively and proactively as well as reactively. But how can this be done without (unconsciously) reproducing racism and reinforcing existing stigmatisation?
The upcoming practical workshop "Pedagogical professionalism and diversity awareness in the migration society" would like to address this question together with people from practice and academia. As usual in the practice workshop, the topic will be approached on the basis of a specific case and options for action will be developed together.
