Workshop: Awareness in Practice – Handling Incidents

You’ve reflected on your “current situation” and established a code of conduct—now is the time to think about the exact procedure to follow in the event of an incident. How do we define an incident? What is our red line? Who is responsible, and what are the chains of command during incidents? When is someone banned from the premises? When are organizers even allowed to ban someone from the premises? Who makes decisions during an incident, and how do you handle external communication—e.g., via social media or announcements on-site? We’ll help you think through as many scenarios as possible and tailor them to your needs, so you’re prepared for any eventuality. We’ll also address your questions.

Ihr habt euren “Ist-Zustand” reflektiert und euch einen Code of Conduct gegeben – dann ist jetzt der Zeitpunkt darüber nachzudenken, wie der genaue Ablauf bei einem Vorfall ist. Wie definieren wir einen Vorfall? Was ist unsere rote Linie? Wer ist verantwortlich und wie sind die Handlungsketten bei Vorfällen? Wann erhält jemand Hausverbot? Wann dürfen Veranstaltende überhaupt jemanden Hausverbot erteilen? Wer entscheidet bei einem Vorfall und wie geht ihr in der Kommunikation nach außen, z.B. über Social Media oder Ansagen vor Ort damit um? Wir helfen euch möglich viele Eventualitäten zu durchdenken und auf euch abzustimmen, so dass ihr für alle Eventualitäten gewappnet seid. Wir werden auch auf eure Fragen eingehen.

This workshop builds on the introductory session on awareness and focuses on the practical application of awareness work; participants should already have some basic experience.
