The project: Support f(x)

Support f(x) strengthens and promotes awareness and anti-discrimination work in the context of events. Various forms of exclusion, violence and discrimination still characterize coexistence in our society. We do not accept this state of affairs.

Our goal is to jointly sensitize a broad public and to counteract organized power structures. A central building block is the network. As a supra-regional interface, we want to support the community sustainably in its self-organization. The focus is on the exchange and sharing of resources and knowledge.

We want to offer this network platform to the multitude of awareness and anti-discrimination initiatives in order to jointly enable a practice based on solidarity. Together we want to stimulate a discourse that can also have an effect on the general public, so that discrimination- and power-sensitive spaces become normality and violence and discrimination are minimized.

We support

Awareness Teams

We give workshops for supporters and awareness staff, organize spaces for colleagues to talk about challenging cases, advocate for good working conditions and train new trainers.

Venues

We advise and accompany event organizers on the way to their individual awareness strategy. We offer nationwide training and consulting for event staff of all trades to develop a concept and train staff.

the network

We organize symposia, meetings and round tables to learn from each other and to communicate about the current needs of the awareness scene. In the community section of the website, debates are held and knowledge is exchanged.

the visibility of initiatives

In recent years, many initiatives and groups have been founded that are committed to a discrimination- and violence-sensitive event life. We want to make this commitment even more visible: on our online platform, awareness groups and event organizers can present their awareness principles and good practices and locate themselves on the map.

intersectional perspectives

Engagement against LGBTIQ* hostility, racism and rejectionism are as integral a part of awareness for us as sexualized violence. On Instagram, in podcasts, in seminars and at events, we intervene about diverse forms of discrimination in nightlife.

the search for minimum standards

Together with stakeholders, awareness teams, club operators, security and all other (experienced) experts in the field of awareness, diversity and events, we develop a common code for awareness at events.
