“[f]or us, decoloniality means thinking, doing, sharing, and collaborating with people in different parts of the globe engaged in similar paths, people striving [...] in their own local histories confronting global designs”

With the new Get Ready for Global Teaching! project at PH Karlsruhe, we institutionalize and expand our international collaborations. With our partners in Ghana, Israel, Cameroon, Lao P.D.R., Norway, the UK and the USA, we will focus on global inequality, colonial thought patterns, and post-migrant societies. Through direct exchange, future teachers will further develop their cultural and linguistic awareness, reflect on key issues and challenges of our time from a global perspective, and design educational processes in diversity- and discrimination-sensitive ways.
