‍

The project:

In recent years, many initiatives and groups have been founded that are committed to discrimination- and violence-sensitive event life. With our project "support f(x) - interface for awareness, anti-discrimination and violence prevention", we use our experience from over 10 years of practical awareness work to support and thematically network all those who are involved in awareness throughout Germany. Our second project "Support f(x). Awareness interface for Saxony" has a similar structure, but focuses on the specific conditions in Saxony, creates even more finely meshed networks and also aims to bring about change outside the major cities. Another focus here is on raising awareness and providing information on discrimination, violence, consensus and the ideas behind awareness.

The main location of the Initiative Awareness e.V. is Leipzig. Most of the staff working on the Support f(x) and Support f(x) Saxony projects are based here. Work on the project is based on a division of labor. In addition to the "Project Coordination" team, there are people who work in the areas of "Public Relations", "Education", "Administration/Management and Team Coordination". The "Project Coordination" team is responsible for coordinating, planning and implementing the planned measures - i.e. the sub-goals of the project. This includes various event formats, from information stands and roundtables to specialist conferences, as well as content-related work such as concept development, reporting and work in various networks.

• Support of the "Project Coordination" team
• Collaboration in the development of ideas and strategies for projects
• Partial responsibility for planning and implementation of events
