Queer Sprachcafé

Let’s gather for a full day of workshops: a space to rest, celebrate joy and movement, and equip ourselves with tools to resist the violence and discrimination we face in our everyday lives. Together, we transform care into empowerment and solidarity into action. No matter your level of proficiency, everyone is encouraged to participate and grow together. Come for the conversation, stay for the community!

What languages are represented?
We will have tables for English and German. Beyond that, it will be up to you! We hope to eventually host a wide range of languages and are excited to see this café grow with your support.

What if I don’t feel confident in my language skills?
Our language café is open to everyone, regardless of their language abilities. From beginners to native speakers – we will ensure it is a fun and safe space for everyone.

Besonders wichtig sind ihm Flexibilität, persönliche Nähe und ein lösungsorientiertes Miteinander. Sein Leitsatz lautet „support to succeed“ – er begleitet ihn in seiner Arbeit und in Gesprächen rund um berufliche Entwicklung. Michał spricht fließend Polnisch, Englisch und Kroatisch und lernt zurzeit Deutsch.

Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with migration experience Queer people with migrant backgrounds in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments.

With the support of the Deutsche Fernsehlotterie Stiftung, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers. We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer migrants.
Our Queer Bridges program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates.
