Workshops for adults

Self-determination now!
Trans*Inter* Workshop

The “LSB” in “LSBTI*” has arrived in the majority society due to the media presence of the gay and lesbian movements – in contrast to that, many people often only have little contact with the Trans* and Inter* issues, and lack knowledge.

This workshop aims to change that and consistently puts “TI*” at the center. Together we will not only explore what it means to be trans* or inter*, but will also look at how self-determination and the struggle against the deprivation of such fundamental rights has become a central point of far-reaching activism. We dive into the history of the struggle for self-determination and ask ourselves what we need to do in order that trans* and inter* people can live self-determined and happy lives today.

The workshop is aimed at adults and does not require knowledge of gender and sexual diversity. In interactive, vividly designed units, participants receive factual input on the one hand, while having the opportunity for exchange perspectives: which opens up the space for questions to be discussed in an appreciative atmosphere. The workshop is suitable for groups of up to 20 people who want to expand their knowledge for their work in education or culture or just in their private life.

Speakers:
Luan Pertl is an inter* activist in Austria and Germany with the focus on education and peer counselling.
Felicia Rolletschke is a workshop trainer, speaker, blogger and trans* activist from Berlin.

The workshop spans 5 hours and takes place in the seminar room and the exhibition in Schwules Museum.
Cost: 1,200 euros for groups of up to 20 participants.
