As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, most people had to face discrimination in their life. We would like to invite participants who identifying as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and allies who are interested in the topic of this camp to join our Queer Camp in Berlin 2023. We will give you great insights of the queer culture of the city, show you exhibitions and places of historical value, look into the history and current situation of the LGBTQ+ in Germany and get empowered by our workshops: how to tackle homophobia. This workcamp has the goal to empower the participants and pave the way for participation in democratic societies. Never done drag? There is your opportunity, we will give a special workshop about the drag culture where you can become a drag queen/king for a day with a show.
