1. Awareness-raising session for cultural events in public spaces

Do you organize events in public spaces?
Do you want to make your work more accessible to a wider audience by focusing on the diversity of our city?
Are you wondering how to prevent situations of discrimination or how to deal with hostility during your events?
Would you like to learn tools for this and have a moment of exchange with colleagues on this topic?

Our sessions are designed for individuals and organisations working on cultural events in public spaces. During the session, we will explore practical tools to make work more inclusive, prevent conflicts and address challenging situations, promoting an accessible and safe environment for all. In addition to acquiring useful knowledge, the workshop will provide a space for the exchange of ideas and experiences among colleagues.

The workshop is aimed at organisations, institutions and local actors in Berlin Pankow who organise cultural events in public space. During the workshop we will talk about diversity in our communities and learn practical tools to make our work accessible to more people, prevent situations of discrimination or deal with hostility. The workshop will be led by the Violence Management Team and will not only offer practical knowledge but also a space for networking and sharing experiences among colleagues.
