The Water We Swim In – Unconscious Privilege & Multicultural Societies

June 24 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Tupoka Ogette
June 24
8:00 pm - 9:30 pm (Europe/Berlin)
German/English

What does origin mean in a diverse society?
Who experiences belonging as something natural and who has to continually negotiate it?

Migration transforms societies not only through the people who arrive, but through the questions that become visible in the process: Who is considered to “belong”? Which stories about home shape how we live together? And which social norms and privileges remain invisible to those who already experience belonging as something given?

Drawing on perspectives from anti-racism, social learning and collective transformation, Tupoka Ogette will open a space to reflect on cultural conditioning, unconscious privilege, and taken-for-granted social realities that shape how we perceive migration, diversity, and belonging.

Together, we’ll

  • deepen our capacity to recognize unconscious privilege in everyday life
  • Strengthen our reflection on how inclusive and welcoming societies can be actively shaped
  • Inquire into the conditions that make mutual recognition, dignity and participation possible.

This event is for anyone interested in building a truly resilient and thriving society.

The recording of this event will be shared after the event. If you aren’t able to join live, you can still watch the recording. Make sure to sign up in order to receive the recording afterwards.
