The I in the WE – Individual and society in interaction
The 3-part workshop series „The I in the WE“ is dedicated to the multidimensionally linked topics of prejudice, identity, culture, conflict and emotion. Through interactive exercise settings, the students/participants become aware of the complexity of the topic, which can reduce the associated tensions in the class community.
