We are proud to share the new promotional video for tubman t(w)eenagers – Empowerment für Schwarze Jugendliche, a project by tubman.network e. V.
Black children and young people of African and Afrodiasporic heritage continue to experience racism and exclusion within the German education system. Through workshops, creative expression, mentoring, dialogue, and community based learning, this project creates spaces for empowerment, reflection, participation, and collective growth.
In 2025, together with schools, Kitas, educators, families, artists, and community partners, we worked to strengthen awareness, support affected youth, and develop practical approaches for addressing racism and discrimination in educational spaces.
In 2026, we continue this work through the participatory Citizen Science project “Perspective Shift in the Classroom / Perspektivwechsel im Klassenzimmer”. Students of Black, African, Afro diasporic, and Indigenous heritage become co researchers of their own realities by documenting experiences, analyzing structural patterns, and developing strategies for change together with scientific and community partners.
As the project states so clearly:
“Those who experience racism are not just affected. They are experts.”
