Left visions of society
Communism, Anarchism and so on… What is the deeper meaning behind these concepts? How were they created? And what do they mean today? We want to inquire into these questions and learn not only about the critique of the capitalist system, but also possible alternatives.

Learning for live?!
In our education system we are under constant surveillance. And on top of that we get evaluated all the time. Together we want to turn the tables! What do we think about school, Uni and co. in their current state? Which purpose do they serve and how could a different, preferable education look like? We are looking forward to your opinions, experiences and a thrilling discussion!

In between hate and memes
About strategies of the German-speaking right wing online campaigns
Regardless of whether we look at Facebook, Instagram or Discord there a members of so-called “new right-winged” or ” new rights” everywhere on the internet, who try to spread their (often preexistent) content between gamers and “cute” pictures of kittens…
While there are right-wing activists posting their “Thor Steinar-outfits”, groups like the “Generation Identity (Identitäre Bewegung)” or the “Junge Alternative” organise undercover campaigns against journalists, take over discussions on the web or spread proffesional videos on youtube.
In this session we will look at different forms of “digital right-wing” and how these differ compared to classic or more “traditional” right-wing campaigns.
Laptops and tablets can be brought along for this workshop but are by no means a necessity. -
Construction of gender
What are the influences of gender roles and how does dividing people into these set roles influence our daily lifes?
Most of these gender roles subconsciously rule our thinking and thus our action which ultimately only strengthens the gender structures we want to resolve.
In this workshop we’d like to become more aware of the structure of set gender roles in order to gain a self-critical view on this topic and bring on a discussion about these structures. -
What is even a 100 Euro bill? Basic critiques of capitalism
Daily, thousands of people are starving all around the globe, even though there is enough food for everyone. Even in Germany, which is one of the “richest” countries of the world, we work for a salary that is rarely enough. Thats the everyday madness of capitalist societies – but why? How is capitalism connected with private property, the way things are produced, labour, that so called “Capital” and “Surplus Value”? And why does everyone talk about Karl Marx?
This workshop will give you a brief and low-level introduction in the analysis of Marx and to the critiques of capitalism. At the same time we will show you, why a critique of capitalism is a key part of every left movement around the globe. This workshop is specifically made for people without prior knowledge. -
System Change not Climate Change
In the past 200 years the capitalist system of production has managed to drive this planet to the verge of destruction. Where does this terribly destructive power come
from and why isn’t it possible for capitalism to work ”green and sustainable”? We want to share thoughts about an independent future, Start a discussion and collect ideas – together ! -
If we strike – everything stops

Competitive, flexible, stress-resistant…
Where do these values, that we were raised with and that were forced on us, come from? Why is there a constant pressure of optimizing ourselfs? This workshop is about our lives in a “neoliberal society” and what that means to us.
-
Racism
When we talk about racism, for example in the news or in school, we usually only talk about attacks or statements from Nazis. But racism is far more than that. It is part of our everyday life. We see it for example when we talk with each other, when we go to school/work and when we listen to music. In this workshop we want to think about what racism is and how widespread it is in our society. While doing so, we will look at different perspectives from news, music videos and books.
-
Your friend and supporter?
For some, friend and supporter, enemy image for others. Why do exist such different conceptions of the police in our society? We would like to deal with the function of police and its role in a constitutional state. In addition we want to take a critical look at the state monopoly on violence and follow the question of power and its abuse.

Digital safety
Ever since more and more police law tightenings were made and police searches becoming a common method of repression we have to start thinking of our digital safety to secure our personal freedom and empowerment.
In this workshop we want to look at what a possible scenario could be, how we can protect us and what kind of data actually valuable is. -
