In honor of the resistance against colonialism
Raoul Peck says: “All we know about colonialism, the unparalleled human catastrophe, is the doctrine of discovery.” A doctrine of discovery told by those who earned the most from colonial crimes. His conclusion is: “The story has been told wrong so far.”
This sentence also applies to most of the heroes and saviors of the planet from our time.

The folder with unbound sheets is to be understood above all as an invitation to fill it with further portraits yourself. The texts appear in the languages in which they were written by the persons concerned. The German version of the texts can be accessed via the QR.
The A4 folder made of sturdy cardboard is suitable for educational work in and out of school, especially for empowerment and for developing a decolonial and just perspective on the climate crisis.
