Winter School 2024/25: “Navigating the shadows - Understanding antifascism, right-wing extremism, nationalism, and conspiracy theories in today's world”
This year's Winter School will be held from December 27, 2024 to January 3, 2025 under the heading “Navigating the shadows - Understanding antifascism, right-wing extremism, nationalism, and conspiracy theories in today's world”. Register now!
When the year comes to its end, it’s time for the next International Winter School at Kurt Löwenstein Education Centre – one of the biggest educational activities of its kind, hosting up to 120 people in our centre. Activists from all over the world get together to educate each other and discuss political issues, as well as enjoying a day in Berlin and the self-organized New Year’s Party! This year, the educational programme invites you to a critical exploration of pressing societal issues. Delve into the complexities of antifascism, dissect the roots of right-wing extremism, scrutinize the impacts of nationalism, and unravel the dynamics of conspiracy theories. Through engaging seminars and collaborative sessions, participants will gain an understanding of these topics, equipping themselves with the knowledge and tools to navigate and counteract these challenges in our contemporary world. Join us for a winter of learning, dialogue, and reflection as we work together to foster a more informed and resilient community against divisive ideologies. We’re looking forward welcoming you at our activity!
The programme is developed by the International Team of Kurt Löwenstein Education Centre. We will work in track-sessions every day. But we will leave plenty of time per day for other parts of the programme participants self-organise, with the help of the International Team, but also themselves. In committees we organise our free time and evenings. We will have time to share workshops also participants bring with them and spend one day on a field trip in Berlin. Much more will develop and happen.
The seminar will be conducted in English; thus, it will be rather hard to understand the instructions and fully participate if your English is limited. However, you may help each other out in delegations.
