Online Workshop: White Saviourism - Do I contribute to the White Saviour Industrial Complex?

White Saviourism describes when people from privileged backgrounds act like they need to ‘save’ marginalized groups. Could this also be part of my engagement? What lies behind the White Saviour Industrial Complex?

In this Workshop we introduce the historical and structural context of the White Saviour Industrial Complex and the way it is intertwined with racism. But most importantly, we want to honestly look at ourselves and reflect on how we also contribute to White Saviourism in our own engagement. That is the starting point to engaging without reproducing harmful behaviour.

As we cannot change the world in just two hours, this workshop serves as a space for reflection, exchange, and sharing experiences on how oppressive structures (un)intentionally shape our individual behaviour, and on how we can counter these dynamics.
