Barriers
We try to make the symposium as accessible as possible on different levels. In doing so, we have thought about access and what makes it difficult. Therefore, we decided against a fixed fee for participants and, in addition to interpreting and multilingualism at the event, we made an effort to have an awareness team, childcare and catering. With regard to the selection of the rooms, accessibility was an important issue for us. Since we ourselves are little influenced by most physical barriers and did not manage to get opinions from specialists on the subject, we were left only with our assessment of the rooms. We have talked to the people who provide us with the rooms and tried to visit each room in advance to get a picture. We would like to share this picture with you.
You can find our concept here!

across awareness - paths and approaches 1

podium & performance

panel: awareness practice in saxony

Here we will focus on current challenges in the context of events, especially in relation to racist continuities and queer hostility. What are typical cases for different spaces and where are differences in approach? What possibilities do awareness concepts offer, where does the practice reach its limits? What is needed in cities, what is needed in rural areas?
How can we counteract discrimination and provide reliable support for those actually affected by various forms of discrimination?

performance

We would like to conclude the evening with a performance in which affected people's perspectives on issues such as empowerment and dealing with experiences of discrimination find artistic and performative expression at this point.

This measure is co-financed by tax funds on the basis of the budget passed by the Saxon state parliament.
