Inside

An evening about colonial continuities, global responsibility, and new perspectives

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, the Decolonial Goods Store in Gelsenkirchen invites you to a lecture that connects current debates with historical depth. Serge Palasie from Eine Welt Netz NRW will discuss why colonial structures still persist today and how to rethink the future.

Why this topic is particularly relevant now

Exploitation in global supply chains, climate injustice, racism, as well as flight and migration often appear as separate crises. The lecture will demonstrate the connections and make visible how strongly the European expansion of modern times continues to shape social and economic inequality today. For visitors, an event experience emerges that embodies attitude, reflection, and clear societal relevance.

The venue creates space for exchange

The Decolonial Goods Store is more than just a traditional lecture stage. As an interactive sound installation and forum for diverse voices on the topic of post-colonialism, the venue invites listening, thinking, and further discussing. This mixture of exhibition, educational format, and direct encounter shapes the special event atmosphere.

Serge Palasie and the perspective from educational work

Serge Palasie works at Eine Welt Netz NRW and brings the perspective from developmental educational work. This gives the evening not only theoretical depth but also a clear social framework. This makes the event particularly exciting for all who are interested in decolonization, global justice, and political education.

Free admission and open to anyone interested

The event is free of charge, providing low-threshold access to an important topic. Those interested in lectures, social debates, and cultural educational work will find an evening with substance and relevance here.

Anyone wanting to understand how colonial continuities shape our present should not miss this date. The lecture combines knowledge, attitude, and exchange into an informative evening that resonates long after. Experience the event live at the Decolonial Goods Store and reshape your view of the future.
