In the coming weeks and months, there will be many opportunities for trainings on all kinds of topics related to radio or podcast making, also for newcomers. On the one hand, we recommend our own workshops. Furthermore, on Ascension weekend there will again be a radio camp at Lake Constance (photo), which is child-friendly, inclusive and multilingual. And from 2-4 June, Geräuschkulisse e.V. is organising a bar camp and open workshop weekend in Leipzig for blind and sighted radio listeners and sound artists, radio play enthusiasts and audiophiles. So let yourself be empowered to take the mics in your hands and make your topics be heard!

Those who want to work in an open, diverse and discrimination-sensitive context are often faced with challenges. How can we act when discrimination, i.e. disadvantages, unequal treatment or harassment occurs in the association? What is discrimination and how can we create a better understanding of it in the association? How can we deal with boundary-crossing behaviour and conflicts on this issue? In the context of events, there are now often awareness teams that are supposed to ensure that there are no assaults on site. The Radio-Verein Leipzig has been trying to bring this idea into the context of a voluteer association. At the end of 2022, our awareness team drew up an initial action plan that other associations that want to take up the topic of awareness can use for themselves. The action plan can be found here in German and here in English. It can be used for non-commercial purposes and quoted with reference to the authors and the Radio-Verein Leipzig e.V.
