Workshop: "Right-Wing-Populism" in Germany

In the beginning of March we conducted a two-day workshop tackling the burning issue of growing right-wing populist movements and parties in Europe. The workshop was organized in cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and took place at the high school in Eitorf (close to Bonn). Together with pupils we discussed characteristics and sources of the phenomenon of right-wing populism and brainstormed ways to fight it.
