Awareness & Diversity Minimum Standards and Values for Club Culture

This time, in light of the reopening of the clubs and venues and after more than two years of intensive work, exchange, networking and mutual learning, we want to dedicate ourselves again concretely to one of the fundamental visions with which we started the Awareness Academy project in 2020: Awareness & Diversity Minimum Standards and Values for Club Culture.

We are now in the third year of the Awareness Akademie – one of the goals we started with was to work with you towards common values and achievable guidelines regarding anti-discrimination, awareness work and the promotion of diversity and equality in Berlin club culture.

Despite the pandemic and the associated state of emergency for society and especially our scene, the Awareness Akademie has been able to find itself, has worked a lot, advised and created offers for dialogue, networking and further education, which are now being accepted with trust and great interest and commitment. Along the way, we repeatedly come to the point in discussions that an awareness and diversity code of values can be an essential and helpful instrument for sustainable positive changes in Berlin’s club culture.

Accordingly, this year we would like to take a closer look at the development of such values and standards together with you. This roundtable should be the first impulse for this process. For this reason, we will refrain from the usual frontal inputs this time and spend the three hours together with you in the form of workshops and discussions. We very much hope that you will participate in large numbers.
