AWA Workshop: When Harm Happens. Navigating conflict, harm and accountability

Is it a disagreement, conflict or abuse? Is this punishment, or are those consequences? How do we hold slippery terms like ‘accountability’ to account and resist their weaponisation and capture, moving away from disposability culture whilst staying rooted in our values? What mindsets, structures and practices can support us in navigating the stormy waters of interpersonal harm in more discerning, caring and less destructive ways?

We’ll critically explore the current ways these tough topics are thought about in our nightlife spaces and groups, address challenges and examine ways we discern between hurt, harm, conflict and abuse, as well as useful models, protocols and lenses for navigating, addressing and de-escalating different types of dynamics.

 

December 3, from 2-5pm

On site in Berlin

Registration via mail: awareness@clubcommission.de

 

FACILITATION

The workshop will be co-designed and co-facilitated for the Awareness Akademie community by two trauma-informed facilitators with many decades of experience in nightlife safety organizing, conflict support and process supervision, harm reduction, mutual aid, awareness and community care work.

 

LANGUAGE

The conversation will be facilitated in English, and we can explore whisper translation or pause-to-explain needs once we see who will be in the room.
