“Direktsignal” for migrant FLINTA*

We are delighted that we will be able to run the “Direktsignal” project until at least the end of this year. As coordinators, Sinah, Noor and Maia will be offering empowerment programs for migrant FLINTA* people in particular. There will be multilingual workshops, editorial meetings and broadcasts open to all interested women, lesbians, intersex, trans and agender people. Because much more important than discussing migrants is letting them speak for themselves and listening to what they have to say. The project team is also intercultural and multilingual: Maia comes from Argentina and speaks Spanish and English, Noor from Syria speaks Arabic and German, Sinah from Germany speaks German and English. So keep your eyes open for the offers or write to anja@radioblau.de. (more…)

Last weekend we met for a future workshop. We thought about what is not yet perfect at Radio Blau and dreamed about what our favorite station could look like in 10 or 2000 years. In the end, we came up with lots of ideas for the next year. Now it’s time to write proposals and keep working on the implementation. We would like to thank Halle 14 for allowing us to use their inspiring space!

Last week we had our annual meeting with the Cultural Office of the City of Leipzig. Ms. Andraschik and Ms. Köhler talked to us about the reduced funding opportunities and our current situation as an association. They also had a look at our new spatial situation following the bricking up of our rear window front due to the building work there. We are pleased that the Department of Culture appreciates our work as a hub for Leipzig’s cultural scene and civic engagement in our city and thank them for their encouragement.
