  • #8 [german] - Transformative Gerechtigkeit mit Sven und Kathi vom Kollektiv Radix
    Oct 26 2022

    Content Notification: Es geht in dieser Folge unter anderem um den Umgang mit Gewalt


    Kathi und Sven vom Kollektiv Radix führen uns in dieser Ausgabe von Shift in das Thema Transformative Gerechtigkeit ein. Sie berichten uns davon, was falsch ist mit dem „klassischen Justizsystem“, warum es für von Gewalt betroffene Menschen oft keine Option ist sich an die Polizei zu wenden, welchen Prinzipien transformative Gerechtigkeit folgt, was kollektive Verantwortungsübernahme bedeutet, welche Bedingungen in einer Gruppe dazu beitragen, das Transformative Gerechtigkeit funktionieren kann, wie ein transformativer gerechtigkeits-Prozess ausehen kann, worauf dabei zu achten ist um die Bedürfnisse aller beteiligten am Schirm zu haben, wie Gruppen anfangen können mit transformativer Gerechtigkeit zu experimentieren und warum es sinnvoll ist sich mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen, bevor es zu ernsten Fällen von Gewalt kommt. In dieser Ausgabe von Shift wurde ein Haufen wertvoller Ressourcen genannt, ich lege euch stark ans Herz diese mal durchzuschauen. Das Thema transformative Gerechtigkeit ist super spannend aber auch viel zu groß um es in etwas über einer Stunde umfassend zu besprechen. Diese Folge ist also eher ein Überblick über das Thema.

  • #2 - Organizing mit Katie und Micha
    Jan 12 2022

    Katie und Micha arbeiten beim Future Matters Project. Das FMP unterstützt die Klimabewegung durch Trainings für politisches Organizing. Wie Katie es beschreibt: "Wir schauen, was soziale Bewegungen erfolgreich macht und wie wir diese Erkenntnisse zurück in die Praxis tragen können." Wir unterhalten uns darüber was politisches Organizing ist, warum es so wichtig für soziale Bewegungen ist, wie gutes Organizing gelingen kann, warum es für den Erfolg der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung wichtig ist ihr Thema in der Breite der Gesellschaft zu verankern, was die beiden motiviert sich vollzeit dem Klimaaktivismus zu widmen und was sie dabei immer wieder hoffnungsvoll stimmt.
