History - Alliance calls for funds to come to terms with colonialism
An alliance is calling on the Bremen government and other political representatives to take action in coming to terms with colonialism. "Efforts must go beyond the current symbolic politics," says a letter published on Monday by the Decolonial Network Northwest and academic Norman Aselmeyer from the University of Bremen. Among other things, the senders call on politicians to establish a coordination office for colonial heritage, a cultural and documentation center on colonialism and a research center on colonial history at the University of Bremen.

The University of Bremen could benefit from the establishment of a research center on colonial history, as it would contribute significantly to ongoing Research in this area. The Decolonial Network Northwest and Norman Aselmeyer from the University of Bremen suggest refurbishing and repurposing historical buildings for the proposed cultural and documentation center on colonialism, located in Bremen. The coalition's call for action includes urging the Bremen government to recognize and address the city's involvement in colonialism's past, and educate its citizens about its impact on diverse cultures and societies throughout History.
