Presentations
What does it take to make transformative justice truly transformative? with Jael Rollin, Bewegungsstiftung, "In our Bodies - on the Streets," and Kommunikationskollektiv
This workshop explores the obstacles and challenges - as well as ways forward to make transformative justice and community accountability truly transformative. It draws from experiences from Generative Somatics in Central Eastern Europe and Caucasus, 15 years of facilitation and mediation in grassroot movements in Germany and 4 1/2 years accompanying social movements funded by Bewegungsstiftung. How can our movements and our accountability processes - especially when the shit hits the fan become compelling instead of frightening? What do we need to practice and what do we need to let go off in order to heal and move forwards with power?
