Biography and Memory
Workshop on Methods of Political Education

With Désirée Galert (pedagogy director, KlgA e.V.).

What role does biographical information play in the communication of historical-political content? How can subjects such as memory and historiography be taught and learned critically in pedagogical contexts? And how can diverse perspectives be included? This workshop offers insights into the methodological work of political education with a focus on content critical of antisemitism. It is primarily aimed at people from fields surrounding cultural and political education, social practices as well as art and cultural outreach.

KlgA e.V., the Kreuzberger Initiative gegen Antisemitismus (Initiative Against Antisemitism) in Berlin, has been fighting antisemitism, racism, hate and intolerance for the last twenty years. The association’s approach is innovative and intersectional. This pedagogical programming is designed for schools, adult educational contexts, and formats outside schools. KlgA offers a broad range of cultural programming and has been active throughout Germany and Europe for many years.

Désirée Galert has directed the Praxisstelle Bildung und Beratung (Practical Training Centre for Education and Consultation) at the Kreuzberger Initiative gegen Antisemitismus KIgA e.V. since 2018. The centre was established as a central point of contact for schools seeking support in addressing antisemitic incidents. As pedagogy director at KlgA, she also develops, implements and evaluates workshops and projects for teachers and students, as well as courses for KlgA’s team leaders. She studied Islamic studies, political science and ethnology in Berlin and Mytilene, Greece.
