Counseling in the context of discrimination: Interviewing techniques, process and attitude

Date: 02.07.2026 at 9: 30 - 16:00 Cost: 330€

Providing counseling in the context of discrimination places particular demands on communication skills, role clarification, and handling complex issues. This workshop imparts fundamental competencies for structuring counseling processes in a sensitive and power-critical manner.

Participants learn to clearly structure counselling processes and to differentiate between concerns, emotions, and structural framework conditions. This fosters an understanding of counselling that takes into account the specific dynamics of discrimination, power relations, and institutional contexts.

The focus is on the key phases of a consultation process. These include the reason for a consultation, clarifying the issue, formulating a consultation agreement, and a realistic outlook on possible courses of action. Using practical examples and role-playing exercises, participants will learn how to structure complex issues, identify resources, and develop possible courses of action.

The workshop also provides an opportunity to reflect on one's own role as a consultant, attitude, and responsibility. Dealing with ambivalence, feelings of powerlessness, and institutional boundaries will also be addressed. The aim is to gain greater confidence in designing and limiting consulting processes in the context of discrimination.
