FAQ

✍️ Registration

• Full board is NOT included in the ticket price (see “ Food”).
• Due to the short time frame, cancellation is unfortunately not possible.
• Children up to 14 years have free admission, but still need a ticket (see “Children's ticket”).
• Young people aged 14 and over, like all older people, need a normal ticket. Feel free to choose the “Reduced Ticket”, as your pocket money is probably less than that of most adults.
• If you use Telegram, please join this channel here. During the convention we will send information about it: https://t.me/winterconleipzig

🛏️ Sleeping

• This year we can also offer sleeping places. 🥳😴
• We will be able to rent classrooms where you can sleep on the floor.
• As the rent for the classrooms is relatively high, we need an average of 25€ per sleeping place** for the whole weekend to finance this.
• Please bring your sleeping bag, sleeping mat and whatever you need to sleep well**.
• If you have any needs / questions to feel comfortable there, please contact us: info@wintercon-leipzig.de

❤️ Helping out

• The convention is from the community for the community. No one earns money from it. To make this possible, we need support from volunteers.
• In order to cover all tasks, there will be a shift plan on site. It will only work with your help! 🙂
• We are still looking for support in advance - especially in the following areas. Please get in touch if you would like to help: info@wintercon-leipzig.de
  • Kids Space
  • Awareness
  • First-aid staff

☕ Food

• The wonderful Küfa collective “Mampfansage” will provide full board as well as water, tea and coffee on site. However, this is NOT included in the ticket price.
• You can decide for yourself at any time to what extent you would like to use this offer. For planning purposes, however, it would be very helpful if you specify at the registration which meals you will probably be attending.
• There will be a donation box on site with an overview of the expenses of our kitchen crew. As a rough guide: ~10€ per day and head would be cool!
• The food will be vegan. If you have allergies / intolerances, please mention this in the registration form or communicate directly with the kitchen on site.
• Very brief excursus: Küfa stands for "Küche für Alle" (“kitchen for all”) and describes collectives that provide people in social struggles with food. For example, as a “neighborhood kitchen” regularly in cities, formerly at anti-nuclear protests, at climate camps, at occupations, at camps at the EU's outer borders for people on the run or in other political places. True to the motto “no fight without food”!

🫶🏽 Convention consensus

Different people come together at a convention. We want everyone to feel comfortable. To achieve this, we have formulated some important points that you can find here: https://anmeldung.alle-mitmischen.de/lw-25/page/convention-konsens/

🛝 Children

• There will be an area where children can play.
• We are trying to organize childcare, but cannot guarantee that there will be enough capacity. If you can imagine helping us with this, please get in touch: info@wintercon-leipzig.de

♿ Barriers

• Accessibility needs of people are very individual - please indicate your personal accessibility needs when purchasing tickets or contact us in advance: info@wintercon-leipzig.de
• The hall is accessible without steps from the street and from the Leipzig Grünauer Alle stop.
• We will set up a rest room.
• There will be no flash light or similar.

📷 Photos & videos

We want everyone to be able to decide for themselves to what extent their face is photographed and distributed.

• There will be armbands with which people can signal that they do not want to be photographed. If you take photos, make sure that no one wearing an armband can be seen in the background.
• Photos of children and young people generally only with their or their parents' consent.
• Adults without armband agree that photo and film recordings may be made of them and that these may be redistributed/published by other participants (e.g. Instagram, Telegram, website, etc.).

• The following applies to the photos & videos that our photographers take:

  • After the event, photos will be selected and sent to all participants (=all email addresses in the ticket store).
  • You then have 14 days to request the deletion of photos.
  • We will use the rest, for example for reporting and public relations purposes. For this purpose, the photos may be published in various media after the event. This is permitted by Art. 6 para. 11(f) by the german DSGVO as we have a legitimate interest as an organizer and non-profit association in informing the public about our activities.

• Wie es für alle leichter geht:

• Wenn mehrere Leute in einem Workshop filmen möchten, dann stellt euch in denselben Bereich, sodass nur eine Hälfte des Raumes gefilmt wird. In der anderen Hälfte können sich Menschen aufhalten, die nicht gefilmt werden möchten.
  • Auch um das Filmen zu vereinfachen, werden Workshopleitende gebeten, am Ende des Workshops nochmal den Flow/Trick/etc. zu zeigen und das auch zu Beginn anzukündigen. So bleibt allen die Chance, alles gesammelt zu filmen.

🔥 Fire

• Due to limited resources, we will not be able to offer a Firespace this year.

🗓️ Workshops / Program

• There will be slots and spaces for workshops - **since it's a community con, we need you as workshop leaders!
  Whether you are an experienced workshop leader or want to take on this exciting role for the first time, we are looking for passionate people who want to share their skills and knowledge. We especially want to motivate new workshop leaders to give it a try.

• More than circus: You are welcome to offer workshops or skillshares on other topics. What is important: stick to our self-understanding
• There will be a board for workshops on site. There you can announce your workshop (also spontaneously).

🐕 Animals

• Although we love animals of all kinds, we ask you not to bring them to the convention due to the local conditions.
