About the workshop: 

This workshop is an introduction to the topic. We will work out what is actually meant by "classicism" and who can be affected by it. The workshop is intended to support you in recognizing and naming classicism in order to be able to become active in practice. We will exchange personal experiences and positions in order to create awareness towards our discriminations as well as privileges.
