Under the motto "The Rabet calls! - For exchange and culture", about 40 Leipzig associations and institutions presented their counseling, support and recreational offers in the context of a large encounter festival in the Rabet on 18.06.22.

Banner_EmpWS_BIPoC_Eltern.png

In this workshop, we offer you a mindful and creative-productive space in which we can, among other things reflect on the following questions, among others:
How can I reflect on my own experiences of racism and those of my children?
What do my children need to empower themselves? What do I need to empower myself? How is my own process related to that of my children?
What possibilities for action and intervention against experiences of racism arise for ourselves, as well as collectively?

The month of Ramadan began on April 2. We took this as an opportunity to meet in a small group for iftar, the breaking of the fast after sunset. We ate lots of delicious food and had good conversations about religious traditions and festivals. A great evening!

في الثاني من نيسان ابتدأ شهر رمضان المبارك. لذلك قررنا أن ننتهز هذه الفرصة وأن  نلتقي في مجموعة صغيرة عند غروب الشمس لتناول الإفطار سويةً. لقد كان إفطاراً شهياً وخلال ذلك تعرفنا على التقاليد الدينية المتبعة في هذا الشهر لدى المسلمين. لقد كانت فعلاً أمسية رائعة!
