Workshop: 7th to 13th Grade School, Duration: 120 Minutes

Them & Us – Belonging, Marginalisation and Forced Migration

How does belonging to a specific group shape our identity? How might others be able to define who we are? Why and how are minorities marginalised? What social mechanisms eventually lead to displacement and expulsion? With the help of historical case studies, we will explore the causes of forced migration and its ramifications for those who experience it. We will also consider current social challenges and contemporary debates pertinent to students’ everyday lives.
