Content
Cooperation between women and men in cultural associations is not without tension. Constructive, symmetrical cooperation requires reflection on existing structures and conscious action. This seminar offers the opportunity to take a concrete look at the weighting of women and men on the board, in the organization, in the cultural programme and in the budget of your own association. What possibilities and methods of structural change are conceivable? How can gender stereotypes in the association be addressed and broken down? Based on considerations from feminist theory and post-structuralism, there will be a practical discussion of how socially responsible cultural work is conceivable beyond the two genders and heteronormativity. The aim is to empower participants for action in everyday life.
