Bavarian school tackles right-wing extremism with student workshops
A workshop on right-wing extremism was held at Memmingen Commercial Vocational School, aiming to promote democratic values among young students. Organized by the school's trade department and the Bavarian Information Center Against Extremism (BiGE), the event was led by instructor Regina Bodensteiner. The workshop, planned to become a regular offering at the school, saw students from trade and industrial programs participate. It aimed to provide knowledge, encourage critical thinking, and strengthen participants' ability to take action against extremism. Bodensteiner addressed key questions about extremism and how to counter extremist attitudes. Notably, the workshop demonstrated that prevention works best through dialogue, respect, and real-world relevance. For those interested in similar events, while the organizers of the next workshops against right-wing extremism in schools in the Allgäu region are not explicitly named, the Centrum für Antisemitismus- und Rassismusstudien (CARS) at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences North Rhine-Westphalia (katho NRW) offers related workshops. Local political education providers such as those in Baden-Württemberg may also organize relevant events around democracy and extremism prevention near Allgäu. The workshop at Memmingen Commercial Vocational School underscored the importance of education in countering extremist attitudes. With plans to make it a regular event, the school is committed to fostering democratic values among its students. Those seeking similar initiatives can look to organizations like CARS and local political education institutions for further opportunities.
