What is it about?
The various forms of oppression, such as sexism and racism, are often repeated as a matter of course in our teaching materials and thus perpetuated. In this training we want to take a critical look at textbooks for teaching German and work together on strategies for dealing with discrimination in teaching-learning materials.
