# Event Details - **Event Name**: Opening the lens: Exploring colonial legacies, power, and privilege - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 04:30 pm – Fri, 07 Nov, 2025 at 05:30 pm - **Event Description**: Explore how colonialism and privilege still (sometimes unintentionally) influence science, the arts, and our own vision of the world.About this EventFor this year’s festival theme, Beyond Now, Berlin Science Week reminds us: “The world as we knew it seems to come undone.”And yes, it can feel intimidating. Change can be unsettling—like the ground we stand on is no longer steady. However, it is also a great opportunity to question how the world we know was shaped by colonial systems and power structures that continue to exclude others.In this workshop, we will reflect together on how colonial systems continue to shape our lives—whether in political and social structures, especially in the arts and sciences, or in everyday practices we often take for granted and that still limit us today.Built on the knowledge and outcomes of several International Volunteering Services organisations and a participatory, non-formal approach, this workshop is not a lecture or theory class. It is a space for shared (self-)exploration. The intention is not to deliver conclusions or concepts, but to create room for reflection—on our own experiences of privilege, oppression, and the many complexities in between.This one-hour session is designed as the beginning of a personal journey. No prior knowledge is required. What matters most is curiosity, openness, and the courage to question the stories we have been taught.Important InformationAs spaces are limited, please feel free to register in advance.
