]]>Colonialism created the political and economic context, in which we live today. Some countries have accumulated resources and wealth over centuries, while other countries have been colonised, their resources exploited, their cultures destroyed and their people murdered, marginalised and structurally discriminated against. Countries of the Global South are still today disadvantaged in their participation in the global economy. In international organisations – and people of color still face discrimination following the concept of “race”, coming from the colonisers themselves. In order to change the heritage of colonialism, we need to create global justice.
International volunteering takes place in this context: white Europeans go as international volunteers to the Global South, often with neo-colonial motivations of imposing Western values and mindsets onto local realities. In this seminar, international volunteering and youth organisations will gather to discuss, learn and exchange about this issue. Some questions that we ask ourselves and that we would like to discuss in this seminar are:
