Awareness
Are you feeling unsafe, are discriminated against or do you feel hurt in your boundaries at any Queerfeldein event? If you would like our support or if you see that someone is not feeling well or that assaultive situations have occurred, our awareness team will support you during the day at the Rechenzentrum. Or you can contact the Queerfeldein-team member who is present at your event.
If you don’t feel like making the way to Rechenzentrum on your own and want to be picked up, let us know. You can also call before you arrive and let us know you are on your way if that’s making you feel safer.
You can reach the awareness team at this number:
0163 4459073
At the Rechenzentrum the awareness team will be clearly recognisable by its pink caps.
If possible, an awareness team will be present at the party in Spartacus where you can talk to them on the spot.
If something should have happened to you at our festival in general, or if you have wishes for the next time or simply have criticism, please contact the organising team. We will try to solve the conflict together with you.

Helping out during the festival
We have been planning and organising for a few months now, but for the realisation of the festival we still need a lot of support for different areas, such as application, set-up, dismantling, catering, event support, cleaning, photo/audio documentation, helpers for the evening programme, offering a bed or sleeping place for people from outside, etc. If you are interested and have time, please contact us.
If you are willing and have time to support the Queerfeldein (for one day, one shift, one event or the whole weekend), please write us an email to queerfemfest_potsdam@riseup.net with the following information:
- On which days could you help?
- What would you like to/can you support with?
- What is your Covid19 vaccination status at the time of the festival?
- Unter which number can we reach you on short notice?
A thousand thanks in advance for your commitment. Without this, Queerfeldein would not be possible.
