Host and concept: Claudia Buess, Head of Educational Events, Mission 21
Event in English with simultaneous translation into German<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their commitment to education and medical care, Christian missions were fundamental to the development of international humanitarian cooperation. In her presentation, historian Linda Ratschiller sheds light on the emergence of humanitarian organizations in the context of the colonial policies of European powers in the second half of the 19th century, focusing on the role of missionary societies. Smruti Patel, coach and mentor with extensive experience in working with civil society groups and state actors, will then address the power imbalances and remaining colonial structures in international humanitarian and development cooperation today. We will then discuss how international cooperation can be shaped more locally and how the transfer of power, anti-racism and decolonization can succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
