When people are divided into groups and devalued, then peaceful society suffers. Human dignity is only inviolable if every person is treated like a human being. Group-related hostility towards humans has many faces. Racism, sexism, and homophobia are variants of exclusion. Political currents of populism fuel a social and institutional climate of discrimination. The state and the press, the courts, and civil society - all are called upon to counter this development. In this course, we will discuss how the individual can do something about it. Respond to pub table slogans with empathy and wit, don't let put-downs go unremarked, stand up for respectful coexistence. All of this

Last Aid courses help to understand death and dying as part of our lives. Similar to First Aid courses, Last Aid empowers people to provide care.

How can I accompany people in their final phase of life? Where can I get local support? In this course, you will receive practical tips and concrete assistance options that can alleviate fears and encourage enabling people to say goodbye at home with dignity.
