💼 What the programme involves

 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 2024. 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. We plan to visit a former concentration camp, where especially queer people were kept. We will also visit different organizations to see behind the curtains how empowerment and their association tackle discrimination, The participants will go to different events on the topic of sexual minorities living in a heteronormative society and plan to have a dialogue with the German governmental representative for the LGBTQ+ community. And there is much more to come. We cooperate with many different organization to make this an unique experience. Berlin is a great place when identifying as queer, sign up for this unique experience and get your suitcase packed, The rainbow city Berlin is calling you.

This project is composed of a volunteering team, supported by the European Solidarity Corps program of the European Union. Compared to the usual workcamp participation scheme, some main financial and administrative differences must be underlined: For Sending Organizations: “Due to high costs and the lack of additional funding, we are unable to cover a sending fee on top of the ESC travel allowance (lump sum based on travel distance) that can be allocated to the sending organization for its volunteers. Unfortunately, this is the only way we can continue to run ESC teams in the capital of Germany.“ ATTENTION PLEASE: This project is open to all volunteers that fit the ESC criteria presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en - Volunteers do not have to pay any fee (no sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project - Volunteers need to enroll in the PASS, the European Solidarity Corps Portal; We will organize your matching in the portal with the volunteering project. - Volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of the rate of our country
