Peace Academy workshops at the Landau Democracy Festival

On May 20, the Landau Democracy Festival will take place under the banner of participation, diversity and cohesion. The Peace Academy Rhineland-Palatinate will once again be involved this year with a stand on the town hall square. The Peace Academy is also offering three workshops aimed at schoolchildren and teachers. Once again, the nuclear weapons policy simulation game will be held with pupils from the Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium. The other two workshops will take place at the Max-Slevogt-Gymnasium under the titles "Injustices and border violations in everyday life" and "Conflicts - civil courage - staying in conversation".

Further information on the Landau Democracy Festival can be found here.

The workshops of the Peace Academy:

Injustices and boundary violations in everyday life: between courage, solidarity and scope for action
We all know situations in which something is unfair or boundaries are crossed and we are unsure how to react. How can we develop the courage to address different forms of violence, strengthen each other and stand in solidarity with those affected? A brief input on peace education approaches opens up new perspectives and shows: No one has to face these challenges alone - and it's also about taking good care of yourself.

For pupils in year 10 and above

Conflicts - civil courage - staying in the conversation
Political conflicts affect learners of all ages - in families, circles of friends, institutions and in the digital space. How can we discuss polarizing topics, not tacitly normalize violence(s) and at the same time remain in an appreciative dialogue? With the help of peace education methods, we gain orientation in this field of tension and try out transformative steps based on our own experiences of conflict.
