In the German-speaking academic discussion, the relevance of racism as a social problem is increasingly recognised and the diverse manifestations of racism are researched and discussed in a differentiated way. It can be assumed that racism structures social life and is consequently read as a structural problem. Within peace and conflict research, too, there is an increasing discussion about the function and social re-/production of racisms in connection with peace and peace processes.

A reflective approach to racisms as well as the confrontation with racist violence, structural and everyday racisms are an important prerequisite for peace education work. On the blog of the Peace Academy Rhineland-Palatinate, we would therefore like to open the space for theoretical contributions, research in peace education but also for experiences and examples from practice
