We live in a society that is characterized by unequal power relations. People are advantaged (privileged) and disadvantaged (discriminated against) on the basis of certain characteristics – whether deliberately or unintentionally.

The camp offers participants the space to learn together, network and further build our resistant movement. Everyone present should have low-barrier access to educational content and strategic discussions. However, no human being is free of prejudice and discrimination when dealing with others. For this reason, each individual must consciously reflect on this (critical self-reflection). We as an awareness team cannot do this work for you. However, we offer to accompany you in this process.

The working group “Low-Discrimination Camp” is still looking for support in its preparations.

The awareness teams at the camp are available for all situations with which the check-in groups are overwhelmed in any way. They are therefore primarily available for people who have experienced boundary violations or conflicts with others or who have a personal issue and would like support in dealing with it. This may involve any perception of power imbalances (e.g. cis-male dominance behavior), disadvantages,
exclusion and overcoming acute triggers. We work in solidarity with the people affected. The power to define the violence and/or transgressions experienced lies entirely with the person affected.

There are a number of groups that are systemically more affected by discrimination than others, e.g. FLINTA* (German abbreviation for Women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender people and others), people on the neurodivergent spectrum or BIPoC. For these groups, there are also explicit safer spaces in the immediate vicinity of the awareness tents as places of retreat.

To balance out our largely white-positioned awareness, there is also an explicit BIPoC awareness, which you can find in the corresponding BIPoC awareness tent next to the other awareness tent.
