Seminar by SKOV, Ipso-Facto, Vice Versa and Mpologoma Media:

PERSPECTIVES ON DECOLONISATION

Debunking notions: reshaping mindsets
Wednesday 11 Feb 2026 | 16.00-18:30 | Orion, room 1005, Wageningen | details

The term "decolonisation" has been buzzing during the past years. Wageningen students, scientists and professionals are aware of the need to change present relations and practises and uncertain about what it means and how his could get shape. Ipso Facto and SKOV decided to organise three seminars on this topic of decolonisation.

During this first seminar we will explore visions from the Global South and visions of Dutch staff/students and professionals in an interactive way, with a focus on media. This in cooperation with Vice Versa and Mpologoma Media in Uganda. These two organisations started the project Debunking Notions: Reshaping Mindsets. The project departs from the premise: before we can speak of equal partnerships, we need to recognise and unlearn the stereotypes we carry about each other. During the projects insights were produced, which have resulted into the Arua Recommendations. During this first seminar we will reflect upon and learn about these recommendations. Do not expect definitive answers, the programme will focus on dialogue, discomfort and critical self-reflection, all participants will be requested to think and exchange.
