Partly provocative anecdotes, statements and theses should stimulate thinking and discussion. In contrast to “Impulses for getting started”, in this exercise, the themes are more complex and leave the development and range of the discussion relatively open. This requires more background knowledge and a greater willingness to get involved with the topic, both for course instructors and participants.

…und die „Kunst, nicht dermaßen regiert zu werden“.

„Wie ist es möglich, daß man nicht derartig, im Namen dieser Prinzipien da, zu solchen Zwecken und mit solchen Verfahren regiert wird – daß man nicht so und nicht dafür und nicht von denen da regiert wird.“ „Nicht regiert werden wollen (…) diese Gesetze nicht mehr annehmen wollen, weil sie ungerecht sind….“
(Michel Foucault, Was ist Kritik, S. 11 und 13 )

![](https://blog.refak.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Sesselkreis-Startbild-150x150.jpg)
The chair circle is actually quite practical because it facilitates direct communication between all those involved in a seminar – everyone can look directly at everyone at any time. Nevertheless, it has become one of the things that increasingly annoy seminar participants.

Union Strategies against Right-Wing Extremism
![Non à l'extrem droite](https://blog.refak.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/je_dis_non.jpg)
In light of the upcoming EU elections, the question that is more pressing than ever is the extent to which right-wing extremists and far-right parties are burdening the political climate in Europe and, above all, how the trade union movement is confronting the phenomenon. Beginning with an initiative from the ETUI (European Trade Union Institute) a group of trade unionists from Belgium, France, Austria and Sweden are offering an overview of existing and planned trade union initiatives against right-wing extremism in Europe. This will offer opportunities in learning new methods, as well as exchanging experiences with others.
As part of the Anti-Racism Toolbox, we would like to present individual methods and initiatives. Taking the European idea into account, it is possible that a number of languages may appear on the page :-).

However, those who are annoyed and allergic to certain methods learn poorly or, in the worst case, not at all! With our small series on the subject of „Annoying methods“ we would like to support trainers in avoiding allergic reactions and point out possible alternatives!

Gedanken zu Utopie, Bildung und Solidarität
![](https://blog.refak.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/thedi17-225x300.jpg)
„Eine Weltkarte, in der Utopia nicht verzeichnet ist, ist keines Blickes wert, denn sie unterschlägt die Küste, an der die Menschheit ewig landen wird.“
Oscar Wilde, Der Sozialismus und die Seele des Menschen, S.38.
Ist eine Utopie mehr als ein erträumtes Fantasiegebilde, das tröstet in einer Welt, die keine Alternative mehr kennt? Oder ist es tatsächlich so, dass wer Visionen hat, diese ärztlich untersuchen lassen sollte? In einer Zeit des radikalen Sich-Abfindens und der Alternativenlosigkeit scheint es so.
