The conference is based on self-organization. In order for this to work well, the active participation of everyone is necessary. Tasks range from food distribution, awareness, child care to Zoom room assistance. No prior knowledge is needed for most tasks. We would like to see care work in particular distributed in a gender-balanced manner.
You can sign up for one or more shifts for your selected task in the shift schedules below. Please be on time for the start of your shift at the respective meeting point.

Thank you for your support!

The conference is financially supported by a number of political foundations, governmental agencies as well as church and other organizations.

Participation in the conference is free of charge.

Nevertheless, we also rely on donations. The main costs of the conference are personnel costs and professional fees.

Whoever would like to donate to our project is cordially invited to do so! Gladly with reference to the conference or the project „Together, just, global“. Please send possible donations to → Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie.

Our world today and all areas of society are significantly shaped by unequal power relations. These are constantly and everywhere at institutional (e.g. laws, labor market), interpersonal (e.g. exclusion, sexual harassment) and ideological level (e.g. norms, values, culture). They lead to preferential treatment (privileging) and disadvantages (discrimination) of people. There are people whose particular privileges (e.g., white/male/heterosexual/rich) put them in a more powerful position relative to less privileged people. While having privilege does not necessarily mean actively engaging in discriminatory behavior. However, they can contribute to putting others at a disadvantage. Often, we are not even aware of our privileges, which makes it difficult to interact with each other in a way that is sensitive to discrimination. Therefore, we invite you to reflect on your privileges → Awareness

When you enter the room, we ask you to write your pronoun next to your name. That way, everyone knows how you want to be addressed. Address people by the pronoun they have chosen in each case.

Examples:
Selma [he/his]
This is Selma. His name is Selma. Selma is his name.
Ana [ana/no pronoun].
This is Ana. Ana is called Ana. Ana is Ana’s name.
Other examples of pronouns can be: she/her, they/them, mensch, and many more.

You can register for the congress → here.
Participants and speakers should register. Participation in the podium and keynote speech is also possible via public streams.

Sensitive handling of video, photography and sound recordings is important to us for a trusting atmosphere at the conference. There are different reasons why people do not want to be filmed or photographed. We would like to respect this as much as possible. In concrete terms, this means that if you want to take photographs in situations involving fewer than 20 people, e.g. in workshops, in small groups, the recognizable people must be asked for permission beforehand.

The same applies to sound and image recordings in digital formats. In the case of large-scale recordings in situations with more than 20 people, as well as public events in the context of the conference, images may also be recorded without being asked. In digital space, unprompted recordings may only be made if a person’s image and name are not identifiable at the same time.

Screenshots: Showing yourself quasi „publicly“ to unknown people in the digital space via video requires a certain level of trust. This trust is important to make our worshops a safe place to be for everyone involved. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you take screenshots (even if they are only for private use) of the digital workshops only after explicit announcement, in consultation with the instructors and after approval of all participants!

Online communication is especially challenging because facial expressions and gestures of the other person are not visible at all or only to a limited extent.

We ask you:
• Be careful not to communicate in a way that belittles, insults, or discriminates against other people.
• If people point out to you that your (speech) behavior is discriminatory, see it as an opportunity to understand power relations and to emancipate yourself from them.
• Observe what parts of speech you have in discussions. Pay attention by speaking shorter and more pointedly so that everyone can feel included. Remember that everything you share requires everyone’s focus and attention.
• Be careful in your speeches to use things you might take for granted, such as names, terms, and abbreviations.

To participate in the congress you need a digital device. Ideally a computer with camera – small screens can be confusing to use. Please check your technical equipment before the event: Are microphone, loudspeaker and camera working? Mute your microphone during the event when you are not speaking. Set your camera to low quality only, so that little bandwidth is used and the end devices of the other congress participants are not overloaded. As an alternative, you can dial into the respective room via telephone (→ telephone dial-in).
It is helpful if you have a good microphone/headset available.

If you have any technical problems or questions, you can contact the technical support team at +4916099515908 or via Zoom:

Meeting ID: 934 842 6645

In most events there are also room companions who you can contact/ write to for specific questions in an event.

If your internet connection is not sufficient to participate in events, you can also dial-in to our workshops by phone, although no video or interpretation is possible for you/by you. For this you will need a phone number and the access data for your event. Phone dial-in to Zoom rooms works via the following number (landline number): 00496950502596, then just have Zoom ID ready and follow announcements.

We use the video conference software Zoom for the conference. The main reason for this is the interpreting function that the software offers. We have chosen Zoom for accessibility reasons. Zoom itself offers a variety of → tutorials on how to use it.

Workshops in the digital space present special challenges for everyone involved. We want to ensure that instructors can focus on their workshops and participants, and participants can participate well in workshops. Zoom room guides are designed to contribute to this. On the one hand, it is about being available for technical questions of participants in a workshop or panel and helping them to solve them. On the other hand, they also assist the instructors with very practical things. This includes: opening workshop rooms, managing breakout rooms (opening, assigning people, closing in case of doubt), being the link to the Awareness AG.
