This toolkit is the outcome of four seminars organised by the Service Civil International (SCI), an international peace organisation dedicated to promoting a culture of peace by organising international voluntary projects.
The toolkit asks the questions:
- 'How can we make volunteers reflect on the colonial power structures that are behind their ideas of “development” and “help”?
- How can we make them lose their unconscious or even conscious imperial and white supremacist approaches, seeing countries in the Global North as superior to those in the Global South?
- How can we make them ask themselves why in some places of the world “help” is needed and how that is connected to their own lives?
- How can we transform white supremacy into solidarity for global justice and antiracism?
It also calls for all volunteering organisations in Europe to take a strong stand against racism and colonialism.
