You feel overwhelmed.
You don’t want to or can’t intervene yourself.

Events
As an Awareness Team, we provide support for events. Indoor, outdoor, festivals, and conferences – we can support all types of gatherings of many people with teams on-site and in pre- and post-event preparations.
Educational Work
We are happy to share our knowledge of awareness work. We offer workshops for further education and can tailor our offerings to specific needs and questions. Some examples of workshops and the areas covered by our educational offerings can be found under -> Workshops.
Concepts and Consultation
Different needs require different solutions. We develop concepts and provide consulting services for various issues. For example: awareness concepts for spaces, conflict resolution structures for groups, conflicts in public spaces.
Establishment of Awareness Structures
In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness and understanding of the need for awareness structures. As AwA* groups, collectives, structures, and communities, we can support in establishing their own awareness structures.
