Zahlreiche Hände liegen übereinander gestreckt.

The main goal is to raise awareness among professionals working in the field of democracy about trauma-sensitive education and to equip them with the appropriate methods.

We invite advocates of democracy education from formal and non-formal educational settings.

The symposium provides a platform for the exchange and expansion of professional knowledge, with a focus on its application in practical work.

When: 22nd November 2024, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Where
