Dagesh | Rückblick: Dagesh-Netzwerktreffen anlässlich der Buchpremiere von Anna Schapiro





DialoguePerspectives participated in the 2024 Alumni Meeting of Start Alumni e.V. We hosted a session where we presented the programme and conducted a workshop with the participants on the topic “Reflecting Crises – Fostering Collaborative Action”. The aim was to emphasise dialogue as a method. Current crises such as the climate crisis, geopolitical conflicts, the growing right-wing shift and the rise of ethno-nationalism etc. highlight the need for collective action and open dialogue. In this session we also explored the elements of effective communication in times of crisis, especially in a poly-crisis. We recognised that a poly-crisis, which involves several interrelated problems, requires a nuanced approach. It is important to consider the convergence of our crisis experiences and to create space for constructive dialogue.






“Historical responsibility cannot be voted away.” With these words, the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation called on the federal and state governments last Sunday to legally safeguard the independence of memorial sites – particularly in Saxony-Anhalt – by: through funding structures that ensure these institutions remain operational even in the event of a politically motivated withdrawal of state funding; through the targeted involvement of smaller memorial sites and local initiatives; and through the expansion of existing networks for joint educational work, legal advice and public support in the event of attacks on the institutions and their staff.
