As the student initiative Decolonising Global Health at University Of Copenhagen, we have been brainstorming a lot about how to approach and how to interact with decolonisation, particularly in our field. The word Decolonisation would occasionally be dropped in the classroom, but previous efforts have shown that there is still a long way to go before it would be included into the curriculum. When browsing the internet, we found many elaborate academic articles and essays on decolonisation that presented dense and thorough explanations on decolonisation. However, as students we missed something that could support ourselves, and others, in grasping decolonisation in a more concrete, real-life context.

In a world that is so overly complex and decorated with multiple systemic issues (which are mostly interconnected), while there are constant streams of distractions and impulses, connecting something as real as decolonisation to the real-world context turned out to not be so easy.

We quickly realised we were missing something tangible and something playful that was presenting decolonisation in a new way. Therefore, we created this toolkit, a short document that presents easy ways to engage with decolonisation through different routes. We want to make you think and reflect, and challenge you to question your own worldviews.
