Inclusive Communities

Inclusive Communities is a project at the Queer Center.
Aktion Mensch funds the project.
These are the project’s goals:

People learn:
Being queer and being disabled is good and worthy of love.
Participation is a shared responsibility.
Disabled, mad, and chronically ill people are part of queer communities.
Queer people are part of mad and crip communities.
Disabled, mad, and chronically ill queers are in charge of how they’re represented,
and people listen to them.

The project runs for two years.
Tristan Marie is working on the project for that time.
These are Tristan Marie’s responsibilities:
Empowering disabled, mad, and chronically ill queers
and fostering a sense of community.
Planning group meetings and events
for people who are queer and disabled
and their chosen families, friends, and professionals.
Removing barriers at the Queer Center.

Are you queer and disabled yourself?
Do you live or work with queer and disabled people?
And do you have ideas or requests for events?
Then send Tristan Marie an email at TristanMarie at QueeresZentrumKassel dot de
Or come to the Queer Center.
Tristan Marie is there almost every Wednesday from 1:00–3:00 PM.
Or give us a call.
Tristan Marie’s phone number is 0155 66 54 21 81.
You can reach them on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

What else do we do?

We have a Signal group
for crip, mad and chronically ill queers
from Kassel and North Hesse.
There, we invite each other to events
or ask the group questions.
We share our knowledges and help each other.
Would you like to join the Signal group, too?
Then write to Tristan Marie.
Their phone number is +49 155 66 54 21 81.

We’ve purchased Meeting Owl.
Thanks to this, our plenary sessions and some group meetings are now held in a hybrid format.
That means: Some people come to the Queer Center for the meeting,
and some participate from home on their computers.

We are updating our website.
We have reorganized it
and revised the texts about our spaces and accessibility.
We have translated the website into English.
We are also creating a page in Easy German
and one in German Sign Language.

We are gathering knowledge and tips on breaking down barriers.
We meet once a month.
And talk about one Accesibility topic.
For example:
Easy German
Legible Pictures
Sensory Accesibility.
And we are writing it all down in a booklet.
The booklet is for our volunteers,
for queer activists,
and people in queer communities.
It grows each month.
