Platz nehmen für Demokratie: Werde Diskursbegleiter:in!

In the organizer's words:

A democracy in which people do not argue has a problem. The crux of the matter is that a democracy in which people only argue in a hostile manner also has a problem. However, between these two poles - the one of the most effective avoidance of controversy and the one of radical belligerence - a space opens up that can be made fruitful for a vibrant and lively democratic culture of debate.
In this workshop, we will take a closer look at this intermediate space. With the help of theoretical foundations and practical test drills, we will develop strategies and ways of acting in order to simplify a confident and confident appearance as a discourse facilitator. Let's dare politics together!

Anyone who is interested in accompanying discussions and can imagine accompanying discussions on a voluntary basis at regular intervals can register with platz-nehmen-fuer-demokratie(at)schlachthof-kassel.de up to 5 days before the respective date. There will be regular weekly appointments for guided conversations in public spaces, which are expected to last three hours each and for which there will be an expense allowance.
