The Colonial Continuities Working Group is launching a new series in April. Under the title “Colonialism & Ecology”, there will be events from the beginning of April to mid-May that address the intersection of the environment, climate and racism from different perspectives.

The series of the Colonial Continuities Working Group is organized by the Education Department of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oldenburg, Cine k, Medienbüro Oldenburg e.V., the University of Oldenburg and Bread for the World in cooperation with various initiatives and institutions.
