Decolonial://Aufbruch, roughly translating to "Decolonial://Emergence", is a Berlin-based coalition of organizers and students seeking to expand the school's curricular and offer young people a plattform to learn about the various forms and effects of colonialism and the colonial structures that remain. While aiming to offer accessible content, we wish to bring these narratives to students, shaped by those who are themselves part of (formerly) colonized communities and in one way or another raising awareness about their struggle for justice and freedom.

The Kurdish city Kobanê is geographically prescribed at the Syrian border to Turkey. Kobanês liberation of the IS militias on feburary 2015 by the Kurdish defend units (YPG ao.) became a symbol of the Kurdish revolution and resistance. A revolution, that stands for an ecological, feministic and radical democratic society, living and fighting collectively for an alternative system, resisting the ongoing extermination of Kurdish culture and land by Turkish and other invasion forces. Everyday focuses on a different struggle, today is the day of women's liberation. The revolution in Kurdistan is a REVOLUTION OF WOMEN.
