Social Justice and Diversity Training

A training concept critical of discrimination
Department of Social and Educational Sciences
Solarpavillon auf dem Campus der FH Potsdam

Social justice and diversity has proven itself as an anti-discrimination, inclusion and participation concept and is now applied in many fields. The discrimination-critical approach is about the possibility of understanding structural discrimination as an interaction of individual, institutional and cultural discrimination practices, reflecting on stereotypes and one's own interconnectedness and professionally developing options for action against any form of discrimination.

  • Prof. Dr. Gudrun Perko

    The education and training concept "Social Justice and Diversity" has proven itself as an anti-discrimination, inclusion and participation concept (developed since 2001) and is now used in many areas. Our critical approach to discrimination is about the possibility to understand structural discrimination as an interweaving of individual, institutional (including legal) and cultural discrimination practices, to reflect on stereotypes and to understand one's own interweavings. The deepening and discussion of the different forms of discrimination that people are affected by on the basis of certain diversity categories and their systemic intersectionality ultimately leads to the development of concrete options for action or room for manoeuvre against each form of discrimination in this further education programme.

  • In the further education programme you will be trained according to our training concept "Social Justice and Diversity". We teach specially developed methods and maxims of working: both for the online courses (webinars) and for the face-to-face courses. The focus is always on topic-related discussions that are designed to be dialogue-based, appreciative and non-moralising. You will gain the qualification to conduct social justice and diversity training according to our concept. At the same time, they learn to apply elements of the training in their respective (professional) contexts.

Traumapädagogik

Traumapädagogik geht von der Annahme aus, dass dysfunktionale Verhaltensweisen biografisch bedingt und daher verstehbar sind. Häufig spiegeln sich diese in aktuellen pädagogischen Situationen wider und rufen bei Fachkräften nicht selten eigene Gefühle von Hilflosigkeit oder Abwehr hervor. Welcher Haltung und professioneller Kompetenzen es bedarf, Betroffene hilfreich zu begleiten und dabei selbstfürsorglich zu handeln, vermittelt diese Weiterbildung.

Trauer am Arbeitsplatz

Trauer endet nicht an der Bürotür.

Jährlich sterben in Deutschland rund eine Million Menschen, viele im erwerbstätigen Alter. Kolleg*innen trauern, Teams stehen vor einem leeren Platz und vielen Fragen: Wie gehen wir mit dem Verlust um? Wie erinnern wir angemessen? Wie gelingt ein guter Umgang mit Trauer im Arbeitsalltag?
