Workshop with Adama Dicko, Camila Schmida Iglesias and Laura Grossmann

The Workshop is in the past. Thanks to everyone attending and the facilitators! We will publish some insights soon.

About the Workshop

With continuing crises and more and more strain on the world’s resources, the exploitation of certain countries by others will keep increasing. In this climate it is important to strengthen our abilities to struggle together for transnational justice. This workshop tries to explore a few facets of this quest. Based on insights of some first hand accounts, we will explore which skills we need in order to better understand each other and fight for justice together: How can we understand each other’s point of view? How can we bridge cultural and language barriers and how to stick together, despite our differences?

Two case studies

We will look at two case studies showing different dimensions of transnational struggles for justice: Firstly, the political and social crises in the Sahel region, fired up by both climate crisis and European/US- arms industry. Secondly, the different issues faced by three types of Cuban communities: In Cuba itself, in the US’ diaspora and in the diaspora in Europe.

This Workshop is for you if…

you live in two worlds and understand the inner struggle this brings. It is for you if you know one of these worlds and want to sharpen your sensitivity, increase your ability to work together with people and struggles in very different circumstances. The workshop is for you if you are ready to de-center Austrian experiences in the face of ongoing crisis.

The Workshop is delivered by…

three trainers with very diverse backgrounds. Camila, Adama and Laura have roots in Cuba, Vienna and Burkina Faso. They are educators, artists and activists, living and working mainly in Berlin and Vienna.

During his travels across West Africa, he developed a unique musical style that blends blues and reggae, creating a sound that is both soulful and deeply personal. Through his songs, Adama shares stories of his journey—capturing the landscapes he crossed, the people he encountered, and the life experiences that continue to inspire his art.
