V. is a non-profit organisation based in Berlin. Under the name \u2018Kein Bock auf Nazis\u2019 (KBAN), we have been running Germany\u2019s largest independent youth initiative against right-wing extremism and racism since 2006. Nationwide, we provide free information material, attend over 200 events each year and organise our own campaigns, protests and concerts. Through social media, we raise awareness and mobilise people to engage in democratic action against the shift to the right and the AfD. Our work is funded exclusively by donations, which go directly towards education, campaigns, materials, postage, rent, fair salaries and creative protest actions.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n WIR. Success needs diversity<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2008, the \u201cWIR. Success needs diversity\u201d initiative has seen itself as a driving force and supporter of small and large-scale campaigns and events in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania that are committed to combating all forms of extremism, racism and discrimination. Our alliance now comprises more than 2,200 members and is growing steadily. We have been supporting the festival since 2014 through our \u2018Democracy Share\u2019 fundraising scheme. At our information stand, we collect donations and provide information about our projects. You can also sign our election appeal and become a member of our initiative.<\/p>\n Workshop: Inhuman and anti-democratic attitudes continue to gain ground in society through far-right networks and narratives that resonate with them. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, state elections are also just around the corner: what might this mean for us and our allies? Let\u2019s take a closer look at how we can be prepared to tackle potential changes in our everyday lives. Join us for a discussion and to develop strategies!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shut down the ifs collective<\/strong><\/p>\n Background: Schnellroda (Saxony-Anhalt) is the headquarters of the \u2018Institute for State Policy\u2019 and its successor organisations, which were founded, amongst others, by G\u00f6tz Kubitschek. Events are held there several times a year, which have become a meeting place for the \u2018IB\u2019, members of student fraternities and AfD members, etc. Schnellroda is one of the key hubs of the \u2018New Right\u2019 and, as such, is too important to be ignored. For this reason, we have come together to maintain a regular presence in the town and to create alternative activities.<\/p>\n Our stated aim is reflected in our name: \u2018Kollektiv IfS dichtmachen\u2019 (Shut down ifs collective)!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MISSION LIFELINE INTERNATIONAL e. V.<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether at sea or on land, whether in the Mediterranean, in Afghanistan, on Lesbos, in Ukraine or in everyday life \u2013 we do what we can: we want to be human. We not only feel a sense of responsibility, we are also prepared to shoulder it. We help those who need our help and we rescue people when their lives are in danger.<\/p>\n Workshop: Refugee Chair <\/p>\n Protestant Children\u2019s and Youth Organisation of Mecklenburg and \u201cThe Church Strengthens Democracy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the motto \u201cDemocracy doesn\u2019t just fall from the sky\u201d, the \u201cThe Church Strengthens Democracy\u201d project has been active in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for 15 years, working to strengthen democracy in challenging times. Our focus is on promoting democratic coexistence. To this end, we offer training, advice and networking opportunities.<\/p>\n The Evangelical Children\u2019s and Youth Organisation is responsible for church-based youth work in Mecklenburg. It is committed to providing contemporary programmes for children and young people and sees itself as a guarantor of enabling children and young people to participate in the best possible way, or of calling for such participation where it does not yet exist.<\/p>\n Workshop: Introduction to the \u2018Council\u2019 method <\/p>\n ver.di Youth North<\/strong><\/p>\n ver.di Youth North is a cross-company representative body. As a trade union youth organisation, we work alongside and on behalf of young people under the age of 28 to improve their working and living conditions.<\/p>\n Solidarity, equality, equal opportunities and anti-fascist work are more than just the core values of our trade union. We put these into practice in our day-to-day work, whether in the workplace, at school or at university. We support and organise numerous events and demonstrations for democracy, diversity and tolerance.<\/p>\n Workshops: <\/p>\n Rock gegen Rechts Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V.<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking out against racism \u2013 that\u2019s what RgR MV e.V. stands for!<\/p>\n We\u2019re active throughout Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and part of a nationwide network, and we actively campaign against racism through various initiatives. Our group includes, for example, the mobile disco \u2018Fette Elke\u2019, which is often on the road across the state, for instance at small festivals and parties. As every year, on Saturday after the first night of partying, you can enjoy a delicious homemade breakfast with us \u2013 in return for a donation. Just follow the smell of coffee and bread rolls. Or the signs on the site. We\u2019re also offering a self-defence workshop for women (FLINTA) for the first time this year. You can get more details at our stand. Do pop by.<\/p>\n Workshop (Saturday only): Self-defence for women (including FLINTA*) with a qualified instructor. Two sessions available.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n OMAS against the Far Right L\u00fcbeck & Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania<\/strong><\/p>\n We are committed to democracy, human dignity, diversity and social cohesion. As a non-partisan initiative, we actively campaign against far-right extremism, racism, anti-Semitism and all forms of misanthropy. With conviction, experience and perseverance, we stand up to the shift to the right in society and champion an open, united and just society. Whether at demonstrations, information events or in direct conversation \u2013 we stand up for democratic values and a future worth living for all generations.<\/p>\n Workshops:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Schacht Konrad Working Group<\/strong><\/p>\n For over 35 years, we have been campaigning across Germany for the safe management of nuclear waste. On 15 April 2023, the last nuclear power stations in Germany were shut down \u2013 a momentous day for the anti-nuclear and climate movements. At last, a major obstacle to a sustainable transition to a decentralised supply of renewable energy has been removed. What remains after just 60 years of nuclear power generation is a huge amount of radioactive waste that must be stored safely for at least a million years. The big question is: where? Certainly not in the old, dilapidated Schacht KONRAD iron ore mine near Salzgitter. www.ag-schacht-konrad.de<\/a><\/p>\n Workshop<\/strong> on nuclear waste policy, nuclear waste disposal, the search for a final repository, the renaissance of nuclear power, SMA, fusion reactors, and renewable energies in the context of climate protection and refugee movements<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stand Up Against Racism \u2013 Together with Kerstin Butenhoff and Hendrik Mewes<\/strong><\/p>\n Stand Up Against Racism is a nationwide alliance against the AfD. Our campaign is supported by a wide range of organisations, individuals and regional alliances. Our work is based on three key pillars. We raise awareness about the AfD through leaflets, brochures and other information material. Through our educational programme, the \u2018Stammtischk\u00e4mpfer*innen\u2019, we have held over 2,500 seminars, encouraging more than 36,000 people to speak out against far-right rhetoric in their everyday lives. With more than 80 local groups, we confront the AfD on the streets wherever they appear, from information stands to large-scale protests against the AfD\u2019s federal party conferences.<\/p>\n Workshops:<\/p>\n The AfD relies on fear \u2013 we rely on each other. The state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony-Anhalt are currently a cause for concern for many people. But whilst the AfD seeks to divide us, our response is solidarity! In our \u2018Stammtischk\u00e4mpfer\u2019 seminars, you\u2019ll learn how to counter right-wing slogans in everyday life. In the run-up to the state elections, we\u2019re creating spaces where activists and those interested in politics can come together, learn from one another and strengthen each other. Join forces with us: resistance starts with you!<\/p>\n Duration: 4 hours, maximum 25 participants<\/p>\n It has never been easier to express one\u2019s opinion or to share news oneself. However, information can be misleading, manipulated or deliberately falsified. This opens the door to abuse: fake news and disinformation threaten the debate on current issues such as climate change, migration and democratic institutions by introducing mistrust, scepticism and hatred into public discourse.<\/p>\n In this workshop, we therefore aim to discuss why misinformation is spread and to develop strategies for recognising and responding to fake news.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It all starts at the centre<\/strong><\/p>\n Self-managed cultural and youth centres (AZs) are under pressure: political attacks, funding cuts and evictions are threatening their very existence. Yet they are vital hubs for culture, community engagement and political education \u2013 and are working to counter the shift to the right. The MONOM Foundation in Leipzig has launched the fundraising campaign \u2018It all starts at the centre\u2019 to draw attention to this situation and to build a solidarity-based support network for alternative centres. The funds will be used, amongst other things, to finance repairs, legal aid and safety measures. Centres can apply for emergency aid at www.allesbeginntimzentrum.org, whilst supporters can donate directly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mecklenburger AnStiftung \/ \u2018WarmUp! \u2013 Youth Culture for Democracy\u2019 project<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of the \u2018WarmUp! \u2013 Youth Culture for Democracy\u2019 project run by the Mecklenburger AnStiftung, we have been working for more than 13 years to promote democracy and diversity in schools across the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. A functioning democracy depends on the active participation of all citizens. This is precisely where WarmUp! comes in with its workshops, aiming to raise young people\u2019s awareness of democratic values and encourage them to get actively involved.<\/p>\n Workshops:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RESQSHIP e. V.<\/strong><\/p>\n RESQSHIP e.V. was founded in 2017 to support the existing sea rescue fleet in the central Mediterranean.<\/p>\n Our decision to operate a sailing vessel has proved very successful over the years; it allows us to act flexibly whilst also operating in a highly economical and environmentally friendly manner. Over the past few years, we have been able to assist well over 10,000 people in distress and help them reach a \u2018safe harbour\u2019. All crew members are volunteers; we undertake 10 missions of three weeks each in the Mediterranean every year and are funded entirely by donations.<\/p>\n Take a look: www.resqship.org<\/p>\n Workshop (Saturday only): Flight, migration and sea rescue<\/p>\n RESQSHIP e.V. is celebrating its anniversary; nine years have passed since it was founded in 2017, and since then we have been able to assist around 14,500 people in distress with the Nadir.<\/p>\n This year, at our stand, we\u2019ll be introducing you to an additional vessel, the Samia \u2013 a slightly larger sailing ship that\u2019s being launched as part of the civilian fleet of Rescuefleet e.V. We\u2019ll also be explaining during our workshop why we feel a sense of responsibility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alliance \u201cThe Herzogtum of Lauenburg Remains Nazi-Free\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n We carry out concrete anti-fascist work in our rural home region, the Herzogtum of Lauenburg, which lies just a few kilometres from Jamel. As an alliance of organisations, we bring together a broad cross-section of society, encompassing both regional and supra-regional structures. Thus, alongside youth groups and associations, our ranks also include various political parties, trade unions and, for example, the Church. As well as information evenings, demonstrations and cultural activities, a key focus of our work is researching local far-right structures.<\/p>\n Workshop: Far-right extremists? Now in your area too!<\/p>\n Together, we\u2019ll learn practical ways to research far-right structures, with a focus on rural areas, as well as how to act on the findings. No prior experience is necessary.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n L\u00fcbeck CSD with LSVD Queer Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V.<\/strong><\/p>\n LSVD Queer MV is the regional association of queer organisations, initiatives, groups and individuals in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.<\/p>\n Workshop: Making diversity visible<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kuhle Wampe (Hamburg)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Kuhle Wampe\u2019 was the name of a tent city in Berlin in the 1920s. The community of tent dwellers lived in a spirit of solidarity, overcoming their difficult circumstances through cohesion and mutual support. Motorcycling was part of that. That is how the name came to be adopted by the motorcycling club. We want to carry on the tradition of solidarity embodied by this name. We are an association of more than 40 motorcycling clubs for whom political engagement is a top priority. You can find further information at: www.kuhle-wampe.de<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Odyssee Party and Prevention Project (PPO)<\/strong><\/p>\n PPO Kiel \u2013 Information & support on party drugs<\/p>\n Do you use party drugs or are you interested in them and want to find out more?

We at the PPO Kiel Party and Prevention Project (Odyssee e.V.) will be there for you at the festival with an information stand \u2013 open, non-judgemental and without moralising. Through one-to-one conversations, we\u2019ll share our knowledge about substances, their effects and the risks involved. We\u2019ll provide information on safer use, give tips on risk reduction and have helpful leaflets for you too.<\/p>\n Our aim? Reflection rather than judgement. We\u2019ll help you make sense of your use \u2013 in a personalised, accepting and non-judgemental way. Do pop by \u2013 we look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n IG Metall Youth MV + L\u00fcbeck & DGB Youth North<\/strong><\/p>\n The trade unions\u2019 democracy workshops send a clear message of solidarity, diversity and co-determination. In an open atmosphere, we discuss the challenges we face in our everyday working lives and in society, and highlight why it is important to take a stand. In doing so, we strengthen democratic values and moral courage.<\/p>\n Together, we develop practical and solidarity-based approaches to combat exclusion and right-wing extremism. We encourage participants to speak out, because co-determination and solidarity must be actively practised and, now more than ever, defended.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Workshops (Saturday only, 12:00 \u2013 16:00):<\/p>\n Maximum participants: 20,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And two \u2018sporting activities\u2019 to balance things out:<\/p>\n Duration: 3 hours<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wismar University of Applied Sciences \u2013 Faculty of Design<\/strong><\/p>\n The Faculty of Design at Wismar University of Applied Sciences is delighted to be taking part in the festival once again this year.

Under the theme of \u2018Justice\u2019, 25 award-winning posters illustrate how unevenly access to health, prosperity, happiness and power is distributed across the globe. Sometimes critical, sometimes humorous, the works encourage reflection and discussion. Following their display in Hamburg\u2019s public spaces, the winning posters will be on display on 4 and 5 September 2026 at \u2018Jamel rockt den F\u00f6rster\u2019 \u2013 as an artistic statement for democracy, human rights and social dialogue.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One-to-one forest conversations<\/strong><\/p>\n The Anfachen Award team brings people together for interesting conversations.

\nThe Refugee Chair is an excellent way to introduce the topic of displacement and migration. Global displacement patterns should be considered in relation to the wealth of the continents. The activity encourages reflection and discussion, often with unexpected results.<\/p>\n
