Queer* Youth! Workshop: Feministische Selbstverteidigung, Selbstbehauptung und Selbstfürsorge

The Queer* Youth! workshop is an offering for queer young people aged 14 to 27 on feminist self-defence, self-assertion and self-care. The trainers behind it are Jay (white, trans*masculine, able-bodied) and Ehli (white, non-binary, chronically-ill nonvisible). Through exercises in tuning into yourself, assessing stressful or violent situations, setting boundaries, physical release and defence techniques, working up a sweat, and tension and relaxation, the workshop aims to build courage and strength to stand up for yourself and others. A warm lunch, drinks and snacks are provided; everything is voluntary, no sporting experience is needed, and the work is trauma-sensitive and discrimination-aware.
