Belluard Bollwerk: Intersectional guidelines for and voluntary commitment to cooperation based on a critical examination of power structures

The Belluard Bollwerk aims to establish more conscious and sustainable working practices in the long term. Through exchanges with others, the team invites a collective learning process to actively and collaboratively address change.

In a phase of new beginnings and with a restructured team, the Belluard Bollwerk seizes the opportunity to create a space for reflection. Over the course of a year, the team engages in workshops, coaching sessions, and exchanges with other organizations to critically examine power structures and discrimination from an intersectional perspective. The goal is to develop and implement a binding guideline. In doing so, the team seeks to identify and dismantle barriers and discrimination on individual, institutional, and structural levels, as well as their intersections.

This work to critically examine power structures will form the basis for the 10-day festival, creating a space in which other forms of «we» can be imagined and experienced. The one-year process is the start of an ongoing transformation for the organisation.
