Summer School 2023

Current demands on the prevention of right-wing extremism in the context of youth and educational work

After a three-year break due to the pandemic, the time has finally come again in 2023: From June 5 to 9, cultures interactive e.V. invites you to the old Zeitz noodle factory in Saxony-Anhalt for Summer School! Summer School - that means five days of educational festival with professional exchange, further education, networking and change of perspective.

In 2023, the Summer School will focus on the changing requirements of right-wing extremism prevention in the field of youth (social) work: What does contemporary prevention look like with regard to current right-wing extremism? What is the mission and the limits of right-wing extremism prevention, and what successful approaches can we learn from? From June 5 to 9, 2023, we would like to engage in an exchange with you on these questions in expert lectures, workshops, discussion rounds and workshops, and in the process learn from each other, discuss together, argue and, of course, have a good time. 

Each day of the Summer School will have its own theme and will begin in the morning with an expert lecture on the respective day's focus. From Tuesday to Thursday, parallel workshops will offer in-depth insights into the topic of the day. After a joint lunch break, the topic will be further elaborated in the workshops before the participants reflect on what they have heard and experienced in a workshop and can apply it to their own work context.
