Queer life has become more visible—and yet many people still face discrimination, exclusion, or violence. At the same time, tensions are emerging within the community that can make it difficult to form new connections.
This is where Queer Connect comes in: We strengthen the community, foster solidarity, and create knowledge and opportunities for connection that extend beyond the scene.

Queer Connect is for all queer people—and especially for those who often have to be explicitly included in many spaces rather than simply being allowed to be there. We would like to specifically reach out to:

• Queer Masculinities & Femininities
• trans*, inter*, and non-binary people
• queer people with disabilities or chronic illnesses
• queer people with neurodivergence
• queer people aged 50+
• as well as all other queer identities and life experiences

Workshops & Seminars
Intersectionality, anti-discrimination, and trauma-informed interactions – with internal and external experts.

Community Training & Getting Started
Common ground: Interpersonal dynamics, group rules, and awareness—so that everyone can move around more safely.

Creative & Somatic Approaches
Art, bodywork, dance, political and cultural education—plus cooking and community evenings.

Community Events in the Kiez
Presentations, panel discussions, collaborations, and participation in festivals and commemorative events.

Access & safer spaces
Some formats are open to everyone, while others are intentionally more restricted—depending on the needs and topic

We work with numerous organizations and networks, including:
