Research on group-related enmity and racism: Online workshop in Bielefeld

An online workshop relevant for local practice

On Monday, August 31, 2026, ConflictA of Bielefeld University invites you to a free online workshop focused on group-related enmity and racism in local community conflict management. The event is aimed at practitioners in conflict resolution and anyone wishing to connect scientific insights directly with practice.

Science meets conflict practice

The event starts where local conflicts become visible in everyday life: in authorities, educational institutions, community society, and neighborhoods. According to its own statements, ConflictA consolidates observations, knowledge, and experience from research to systematically analyze democracy-relevant conflicts and translate them into concrete formats for dialogue, advice, and further education. This is precisely what gives the workshop its unique strength: expertise is not discussed abstractly but related to the real challenges of local conflict management.

What participants can expect

An event experience dense in expertise, accessible online, is planned with a focus on analysis, reflection, and transfer-oriented discussion. The workshop will run from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM via Zoom. This format is particularly suitable for professionals who wish to advance their education in a compact and practical manner. The audience-oriented targeting is clear: the event connects scientific expertise with application relevance and strengthens decision-making security in complex conflict situations.

Why this event is important

Racism and group-related enmity are among the issues that continuously challenge local conflict management. The workshop creates a framework in which research findings are not only presented but made usable for practice. This promises a concentrated event experience with high content density, a professional atmosphere, and a clear added value for daily work in the field.

Conclusion: Those dealing with conflict management, discrimination, and local practice will receive a relevant impulse from research here. The online workshop offers a great opportunity to deepen knowledge and gain new perspectives for one's own work. Mark your calendar and be there live.
