Plenary Session for organizing our tasks

Plenary Session

Mondays from 7:15 p.m., hybrid: Zoom and the yellow room

We discuss and decide together what’s happening at the Queer Center. To do this, we meet once a week for a plenary session. Here, people report on past and upcoming events, and we talk about challenges and goals for the Queer Center. Everyone who is interested is invited to the plenary session.

On the third Monday of the monthwe plan our tasks and work
Here, the employees talk about how they use their work time and receive feedback from the plenary.
If there’s a lot on the agenda, we decide together how to set priorities.
Volunteers can also share how they spend their time at the Queer Center.

Here’s roughly how our plenary meeting unfolds:

We meet in a hybrid format. We’ll send you the link via email beforehand. At the Queer Center, we use the Yellow Room. We start and end on time. It’s okay to leave early. If the meeting runs longer than expected, we’ll ask beforehand if people have time for it.

We’re always happy to welcome new people to the plenary session. That’s why we start each session with a brief round of introductions where people also share how they’re feeling at the moment. After that, we discuss the topics of the day.

Since June 2026, We are trying out a new plenary structure. We set different priorities for the plenaries. People decide for themselves where they want to participate or if they’d rather not attend the plenary session.

Would you like to join the plenary session? Then just come to the Queer Center on time or send an email to: info at QueeresZentrumKassel dot de for the Zoom access details.

Inquiries and Events

First Monday of the month: 7:15–8:15 PM, hybrid in the Yellow Room and on Zoom
This is where new groups introduce themselves and we discuss proposals for new projects. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts. We vote on whether ideas will be implemented at the Queer Center. Only Queer Center members present at the meeting are eligible to vote.
Please send your request in advance via email to Fred or Tristan Marie.
They’d be happy to meet with you ahead of the plenary session to clarify whether and how your idea would be possible at the Queer Center.

Here we talk about how we’re feeling about each other and the Queer Center right now. We resolve conflicts with one another and show each other appreciation.
