We need awareness not only to react to cross-border situations, but to prevent them from happening in the first place. Sarah Saem Bergmann from Act Aware discusses the first steps that organizers can take to initiate safer spaces for everyone. Act Aware and c/o pop set out together this year to lay the foundation for more visibility and an ongoing process for anti-discrimination. In addition, you will have the opportunity to take a closer look at the awareness concept at c/o pop and take away ideas for your own event.
