🛏️ Sleeping

• This year we can also offer sleeping places - in limited amout, though. 🥳😴

• 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.

• 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”!

🚗 Parking

• The parking lots in front of the school are not allowed to be used! Unfortunately, the parking lots on the street around the school may not be used! We kindly ask you to use the following large free parking lot, which is only 350m or 5 min walking distance from the school Please note: Enter via "Brünner Straße" -> https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?from=&to=51.321255%2C12.302577#map=19/51.321304/12.302076
• For those with a lot of luggage, we offer a handcart at the registration: Park in front of the school to unload, store your luggage via handcart in the school and then park the car in the recommended parking lot. :)
• The school has explicitly pointed out to us that there is already a lot of frustration from local residents regarding the parking situation. If there are complaints about our event, it could potentially jeopardize our convention. This is the only location in Leipzig where we can realize the convention in this form - we are dependent on it. Exceptions apply for people with limited mobility.

🫶🏽 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. This will be equipped with play facilities by the team. Private additions are welcome!
• This area serves as a gathering point for children and their caregivers. Supervision by the convention organizers is not planned**. If you can imagine supporting us with the Kidsspace, 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 different reasons, we will not be able to offer a Firespace.

🗓️ 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.

Exclusion of liability
