In times of crisis, we need bonds that last. But how do we build them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we share knowledge and skills? How do we look out for one another? How do we protect ourselves without losing our tenderness? What does it take to build trust and reliability? How can we better handle conflicts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the questions we want to explore with you during Queer Action Weeks 2026. Because one thing we know for sure: the best form of prepping when faced with the rise of fascism authoritarianism are people who stand with each other.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between Queer Pride euphoria and everyday life: Unfortunately, there aren\u2019t always many of us. To ensure we can still take action in these moments, this workshop aims to provide a safe space for you to explore your own limits and individual reactions in stressful situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, we\u2019ll develop strategies to help you stay in control and feel more confident. To do this, we\u2019ll work on voice exercises, learn simple release and striking techniques, and take time to share experiences and offer each other support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This workshop is designed for queer people. The focus is not on performance, but on exploring and strengthening your own potential\u2014in a spirit of solidarity and mutual support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please bring: comfortable clothing, a yoga or exercise mat (if you have one), and a light lunch (snacks will be provided on-site).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
Do you know these gays??? These gays, they\u2019re trying to befriend me!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s nothing better than queer friendships. They provide us with safe and understanding spaces where our experiences, feelings, and decisions don\u2019t need to be explained. Places where we can be ourselves and playfully explore together. We can always count on our friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you looking for new queer friends? Do you want to get to know your old friends in a whole new way? Then come to queer speedfriending!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T4T will guide us through the evening and make it a breeze to break the ice, start conversations, and finding your gang. <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re looking to spruce up your clothes, you can do so in the AZ Conni courtyard together with the Queer Pride merch crew. Bring a shirt, bring a bag, bring a handkerchief, and make \u2019em pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also catch a first glimpse of the Queer Pride room while you\u2019re at it!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
How do you have sex in an epidemic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did AIDS activists organize their resistance in the 1980s? How did they look out for one another? Who did they build bonds solidarity with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And how do we remember and protect ourselves today? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All these questions and more will be answered during our community screening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll watch an iconic, irreverent documentary about the AIDS crisis together, laugh at cheesy AIDS awareness commercials, and learn more about the important work of AIDS-Hilfe Dresden, thanks to whom we can all live our queer lives in good health and with joy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another highlight of the evening: We\u2019ll learn more about PrEP, a medication that can be taken to prevent HIV infection. How does it work, and who should take it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So bring your curiosity and your questions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be aware: The film is rated 16+, so it\u2019s best to leave the kids at home! <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
Input: „The Basics of Assembly Practice“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
„Take to the streets every once in a while and go demonstrate again,“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
goes the song „Deine Schuld“ by Die \u00c4rzte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what needs to happen for a demonstration to take place at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this introductory workshop on the „Basics of the right to assembly,“ we want to clarify the most important points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I register an assembly? What do I need to keep in mind when mobilizing for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What rights and obligations do I have as the organizer of a demo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do we need so called „Ordner*innen“? What should I do with a notice contraining the conditions of my demonstration, and how should I deal with the police?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artemys has been exercising the right to assemble for themself and others for over 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our workshop, Artemys will share the insights gained from around 75 successfully organized assemblies, dozens of cooperation meetings, and successful court cases in a condensed format. We\u2019ll also make sure to address your questions so that nothing stands in the way of the next rally for your cause.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
Queer Sex Talk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For all the questions we\u2019ve always wanted to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking openly about sex is still difficult for many of us.
Yet, as queer people, we have so much to learn from one another.
At this event, we want to share our experiences and discuss topics that have been on our minds for a long time, all in a relaxed atmosphere. Kraja invites you to explore this topic with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to submit your questions in advance to http:\/\/t.me\/kraja69<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, we have to postpone the workshop due to illness! New date: 12th of June 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In queer spaces different positions, experiences – including those involving violence – as well as needs collide. Greg\u00f6re brings 7 years of experience as a mediator in queer scenes, and has personally struggled through several conflicts. We take a practical approach: using tools for specific situations, discussing positionalities and taking responsibility, and aiming to share what we\u2019ve learned with our own circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Please feel free to reach out with any requests or needs to ensure a positive experience at: ws_queerdd@riseup.net)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The workshop is made possible with support from the Urbis Foundation\u2014Foundation for Democracy and Equal Opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Leckt\u00fccher und Pfefferspray in der Tasche zu haben, gibt vielen von uns das Gef\u00fchl, auf jede Situation bestens vorbereitet zu sein. Lasst uns dieses Gef\u00fchl vertiefen, in dem wir mit \u00dcbungsspray zielen \u00fcben. Recent years have shown that we must protect ourselves, our demonstrations, and our Pride events from neo-Nazis. Whether in Bautzen, G\u00f6rlitz, or at the CSD in Dresden: Neo-Nazis organize \u201ecounter-protests\u201c against Pride events and attack participants. For many, traveling to and participating in these events has become less of an empowering experience and more of a threatening situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this skills training session, we want to practice dealing with such dangerous situations and protect ourselves as a group from attacks at and around demonstrations. To do this, we\u2019ll use (partly) playful exercises to run through possible attack scenarios and practice various group and movement sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All bodies welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please come in your everyday clothes and feel free to bring your protest props (such as a flag, umbrella, or banner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessibility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main building of the AZ Conni is accessible via an elevator\u2014the elevator door is 90 cm wide. The exterior doors are relatively heavy and do not open automatically. There is a wheelchair-accessible restroom in the main building. There are small thresholds approximately 2.5 to 3 cm high at the doors inside the building.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Do you still remember your first entry in a friendship book and your answer to the question about your favorite animal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n On June 5, we invite you to join us in celebrating a queer remaking of this tradition! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting at 5 p.m., you can use our templates to become part of the 1st Queer Friends Forever friendship book in our new Queer Pride space at AZ Conni. Your wishes, inspirations, and (Gender) Euphoria songs will then be available as colorful zines at Queer Pride Dresden on June 20. So come alone, come as plenty, bring your best queer memories, and share them with us on June 5 at the QFF Workshop \u2014 your contribution can also remain anonymous. We look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2763\ufe0fIf you cannot make it to the Workshop you can download the pages here: https:\/\/drive.proton.me\/urls\/P6T9XQ8H3C#iTBGz7BJMqJ5<\/a> , fill them out and send them to zineclub.dresden@proton.me . This way you can be part of the Zine, too! \u2763\ufe0f <\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessibility: The front part of the room is on ground level, at the door to the room there is a 2,5cm high threshhold. The accessible toiletts of AZ Conni can be reached via an exterior elevator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More information on barriers can be found on the AZ Conni website (https:\/\/www.azconni.de\/kontakt\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n What memories, people, and places give you hope for the future? What things bring you joy and a sense of lightness? What objects do we value, and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this workshop, we\u2019ll create small trinkets\u2014jewelry or little keepsakes that offer hope. If you already have something you\u2019d like to craft with, feel free to bring it along. Additional materials for our trinkets are available from the Konglomerat e. V. materials exchange.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Guests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unholy Queer Community: We long for you, call out to you, love you, curse you\u2026 But what the hell does \u201ccommunity\u201d actually mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do we need from one another to not just talk about community, but to live it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n With whom do we ally ourselves (and how?) to turn the world upside down? And what must we do to forge strong, reliable bonds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n As queers, we want to be there for one another even in times of crisis and collapse. We want to fight for a society in which we can be different without fear. Our queer politics seeks to challenge boundaries and roles so that spaces of possibility expand for everyone. And our queer history inspires care and tenderness within us: at its best, queer community also means taking responsibility for one another and building mutual aid structures beyond the state and systems of power. What does it take to live up to this ideal? What does it take to be resilient in times of crisis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want to discuss these questions with our guests from queer self-organized groups and allied struggles in order to learn from one another. Whether it\u2019s grassroots union organizing, feminist struggles, trans mutual aid networks, or cultural self-organizing by BIPoC queers\u2014there are many organizations in our city whose perspectives and experiences belong at the same table. What connects us? What strategies can we share? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Come and discuss with us!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Wanna get a first impression of what awareness actually involves and why it\u2019s important in the context of demonstrations? Then join our workshop on the 11th of June from 4-6pm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll start with a brief theoretical overview, explore the basics of awareness-work together, and discuss potential situations and case studies from the context of demonstrations & prides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019d like to come as a fixed group, you can also bring up specific cases or questions. Otherwise, anyone interested is warmly welcome. Instruction Language is German, however, English Translation can be provided.

Sometimes, the space under our beautiful umbrella is a powerful resource in this regard, an expression of vitality that defies corporate identity. But sometimes everything also contracts, becomes too cramped, and we slip into rigidity, self-destruction and mutual destruction, flight, and fractures.
In this 3-hour workshop, we\u2019ll take an honest look and try to get closer to answers to questions like: What makes conflicts in our communities so unique? Which dynamics keep repeating themselves? What do we need to be able to still – or once again – be with one another even after things have fallen apart, perhaps not in complete harmony, but at least fairly?<\/p>\n\n\n\nPepper Spray Workshop: Pepper spraying like there’s no tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
