My name is Eyshan Shadi. I studied peace and conflict research specializing in de-escalation and (self-)protection, critical violence prevention, anti-racism and empowerment.

For the past 10 years, I have been working with civil society organizations, women and youth, state agencies, museums, educational institutions, as well as companies. My work focuses on illuminating socio-political issues, strengthening de-escalation skills, promoting democratic (self-)awareness and bringing marginalised perspectives to the fore. 

With years of experience at both local and international levels and through exchanges with various professional groups, my work is characterized by practical relevance and multi-perspectivity. I see myself as a translator of academic and activist discourses into the respective professional practices and realities of life. 

Every encounter is a(n un-) learning experience, every new perspective an opportunity.

My approach aims to empower individuals and organisations to deal with conflict and diversity in a confident, reflective and proactive manner. I view this approach as interdisciplinary.

The focus is on addressing various forms of violence, discrimination and hierarchy. Together, we examine how we see ourselves and others, reflect on our own positions, and create space for new, nuanced perspectives and ideas.

My work is practical, grounded in real-life experience and directly applicable. I support individuals and teams in developing the confidence to take concrete action when dealing with conflicts, stress and challenging situations in their everyday working lives.

I work throughout Germany and abroad, both online and in person. In German and English. 

My services include, amongst others:

• Training courses, workshops, lectures
• Counselling and coaching
• Conducting and accompanying mosque tours
• Event moderation
• Teaching methods and concepts
• Resources and handouts
• Critical proofreading

Knowledge is not static, but rather a 'conversation' (H. Arendt).
