Education against racism, right-wing extremism and anti-Semitism

ReachOut's educational work is primarily about sensitizing people to the topics of racism, right-wing extremism and anti-Semitism in an intersectional way as a first step and encouraging reflection on these topics. Participants should place their individual knowledge and their own actions in the context of structural racism and be encouraged to consciously question and shape their role in society in this regard. Knowledge, attitudes and opinions should be identified and examined together. At the same time, their connection and embedding in socially problematic contexts should be understood. The irritations caused should provide an opportunity to encounter new information and insights with an open mind.
