Season 2 · Episode 2 | Decolonising Aid and Solidarity
Episode 2 of Change of Perspective “Decolonising Aid and Solidarity” reflects on how humanitarian systems often go hand in hand with systems of human containment. In conversation with Salahadine Djouma Abdallah, co-funder of Refugees in Libya, we speak about the Book of Shame, written by refugees across Libya, Tunisia, and Niger to break the silence around UNHCR’s crimes. Our guest Salahadine confronts Europe’s role in funding detention centers in Libya, the violence faced by refugees, and the power structures that decide who is “worthy” of protection, “who is evacuated or left behind, who is allowed to live, and who disappears”.

Mit Brückenwind in den Herbst - Der satirische Monatsrückblick
Herzlich willkommen im "Herbst der Reformen". Der wurde nach 100 Tagen nicht ganz so erfolgreicher schwarz-roter Koalition und einer daraus folgenden "Brückentags-Klausur" in Würzburg ausgerufen. Doch bevor sich die Regierung auf Kürzungen bei den Sozialleistungen einigt, wird schon mal die Bundeswehr reformiert. Es lebe die Freiwilligkeit! Die europäische Wehrfähigkeit besteht ja vor allem darin, dem US-Präsidenten möglichst tief hinten rein zu kriechen. Dafür hat der Kanzler extra einige europäische Amtskollegen mit nach Washington genommen. Ob "Herbst der Reform“ auch bedeutet, dass wir den Umweltschutz einstellen, was der zuständige Minister Carsten Schneider eigentlich s...

Special Episode: Solidarity-Based Approaches to Volunteering – Voices from the Global South
As the final episode of Season 1 of Change of Perspective, we present a powerful panel discussion on solidarity-based approaches to volunteering, highlighting perspectives from the Global South. Too often, volunteering and aid efforts are shaped by Eurocentric narratives that reinforce hierarchies and paternalism. In this conversation, our speakers challenge these dynamics by centering lived experience, justice, and proximity over charity. Panelists: - Adeola Carew (Safe Space Sierra Leone), a feminist organizer and founder of a survivor-led initiative supporting women and girls affected by sexualized and gender-based violence. Her work focuses on trauma-informed, community-rooted care and deconstructs the ethics of volunteering...

Change of Perspective 6: Paternalism and the “Helping” Narrative – Who Gets to Decide?
In this episode of Change of Perspective, we explore paternalism—when decisions are made for people rather than with them, often under the guise of “helping.” This dynamic is deeply rooted in colonial thinking and still shapes many forms of international aid, development, and even activism today. We question the popular narratives around helping, support, and "giving a voice"—and ask: who defines what help looks like? Who holds the power, and who is expected to be grateful? Our guests share how paternalistic attitudes have affected their communities and why shifting from charity to solidarity is essential for real change. Join us...

Change of Perspective 5: Colonialism – Not Just History
Colonialism is often taught as something that ended long ago—but its structures and effects are still deeply present today. In this episode of Change of Perspective, we examine how colonial legacies continue to shape global power relations, cultural identities, migration, and systemic inequality. Our guests share personal reflections on how colonialism has influenced their lives, and we discuss why recognizing and challenging ongoing colonial dynamics is essential for building a more just future. Join us as we confront the myths of the past and the realities of colonialism in the present.

Change of Perspective 4: White Saviorism – The Problem with "Saving" Others 🤍🌍
In this episode of Change of Perspective, we take a closer look at white saviorism—when individuals from wealthier or Western countries position themselves as "saviors" of people from economically disadvantaged regions. What are the hidden power dynamics behind these actions? How can good intentions sometimes reinforce stereotypes, dependency, and inequality? We listen to critical voices and experiences from those directly impacted, questioning the true motivations behind certain forms of "help" and exploring why it’s important to recognize and dismantle these narratives. 🎧 Join us as we reflect on the impact of white saviorism and rethink what true support and res...

Change of Perspective 3: Eurocentrism – Who Sets the Standard? 🌍🔍
In this episode of Change of Perspective, we dive into the concept of Eurocentrism—the idea that European culture, values, and perspectives are the default or superior standard. But what happens when one worldview dominates over others? How does this shape education, politics, media, and our everyday understanding of the world? We question how Eurocentrism continues to influence global narratives and listen to voices that challenge this imbalance. It’s time to rethink whose knowledge, history, and experiences are centered—and whose are left out. 🎧 Join us as we shift the lens and make space for diverse perspectives. Additional Resources on Euroce...

Change of Perspective 2: Voluntourism – Helping or Hurting? 🌍🤔
Many young Europeans travel to the EU’s external borders or the Global South to volunteer, hoping to make a difference. But what impact does voluntourism really have? Is it truly helping, or does it reinforce harmful power dynamics? In this episode of Change of Perspective, we explore the fine line between genuine aid and performative action. We listen to different perspectives, including voices from those directly affected by international volunteering. How do they perceive these volunteers? What are the unintended consequences of short-term help? Join us as we unpack the reality of voluntourism and qu...

Change of Perspective 1: Racism
Welcome to our podcast, Change of Perspective! This series consists of six episodes, each exploring important social issues. Our first episode focuses on racism—what it is, how it affects people, and why discussing it can create meaningful change. Racism occurs when someone is treated unfairly, excluded, harassed, or discriminated against because of their race, skin color, or socioeconomic status. Recognizing racism isn't always easy, especially for those who aren’t directly affected by it. While some express racism through words, others do so through actions. In this episode, voices from people who have...
