The Equity Book Circle is a reading, discussion and action group focused on readings about or related to intersectional feminism, equality/equity, diversity, inclusion, and/or readings from authors from minority, marginalised or underrepresented groups.

This round we meet every other Monday evening on Zoom. The circle is open to everyone who has an open, collaborative and respectful mindset. The discussions take place in English. The length of this circle will depend on the book we select.

Neurodivergent Peer Support Group - July
2021-07-21 16:00 - 18:00

Wednesday, July 21st 20214pm-6pm Berlin time (UTC+1)On Zoom

Join us for the next meeting of our Neurodivergent Peer Support Group! (More information on Neurodiversity here and here)

This group will be held in English.

WHAT IS A PEER SUPPORT GROUP?

Peer Support Groups are a chance for a group of individuals with a common experience (in this case being neurodivergent) to collaborate to solve problems they share. We will be able to voice our challenges, and then be giving each other feedback, advice and ideas to help us conquer them. This is a great opportunity to help someone struggling with the same challenges or share how you overcame them.

This is the pilot meeting in our newly founded Neurodivergent Peer Support Group. Our aim is to co-organise these meetings as a group and maintain its horizontal structure, so anyone is welcome to step up as a facilitator. No prior experience with facilitation is needed. It’s a valuable skill for anyone and we will teach you how to do it in the safe space of the group.

HOW IT WORKS

We’ll kick off the the group by having a structured conversation led by facilitators where everyone can introduce themselves, and share either their struggles or experiences around living their life as a neurodivergent individual. We’ll then brainstorm possible ways how to support each other and decide on the future development and structure of this group. There will be a 10-minute access break in the middle of the session.

WHO IS THE PEER SUPPORT GROUP FOR?

aequa Peer Support Groups give folks with certain affinities (for example: similar interests, challenges or experiences) the chance to offer mutual support in the form of peer-to-peer mentorship, feedback, advice and discussion. This also gives a forum to wrestle with how those with shared challenges or advantages can help to build a more equitable future for all.

WHO CAN JOIN?

The Neurodivergent Peer Support Group is for anyone who is neurodivergent regardless of official diagnoses or lack thereof. Neurotypical people with neurodivergent partners or kids are welcome too.

This meetup is for anyone with an open, respectful, and collaborative mindset.

Prior attendance of a PSG meetup or aequa event is not required.

Our second community assembly of 2021!aequa has grown so much and especially since we opened the community centre last spring our networks have been expanding fast. As so much of our work has been online recently, we know it’s been hard to keep up with all the projects that are happening month to month.

This digital gathering will have representatives from aequa working groups, collectives, reading groups and various other projects so we can all get to know each other better and learn about the work our wonderful community has been busy with.

Individuals who are not yet part of a group but would like to get to know the aequa ecosystem better are very welcome too!

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

You are part of an aequa project, working group, reading group or other collective and want to network with other aequa folks, share ideas or get supportYou have heard of aequa and are interested in learning more or getting more involvedYou are part of our extended digital community

MUTUAL RESPECT

We host and invite people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Each of us is made up of a collection of intersecting privileges and oppressions. The languages ​​spoken and understood are many and varied. We strive to celebrate these differences and encourage an open, respectful and compassionate mindset. We try to avoid making assumptions about others, or projecting our own opinions as the only valid truth. We assume positive intent while addressing any hurt that happens as a result of these exchanges. We do NOT tolerate racism, cissexism, ableism, ageism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or other hateful opinions or behaviors. If you or anyone around you expresses or experiences discomfort, please get in touch.

Unsere zweite aequa Assembly in 2021!

aequa ist enorm gewachsen, besonders nach der Öffnung der aequa Gemeinschaftsräume hat sich unser Netzwerk schnell ausgedehnt. Da in letzter Zeit so viel von unserer Arbeit online stattfindet, können wir nachvollziehen, dass es schwierig ist mit allen Projekten der letzten Monate Schritt zu halten.

Am kommenden online Treffen werden Mitglieder der aequa Arbeitsgruppen, Kollektive, Lesegruppen und von verschiedenen anderen Projekten dabei sein. Es soll uns helfen uns alle besser kennenzulernen und mehr über die Arbeit zu erfahren, mit der unsere wunderbare Gemeinschaft sich auf Trab hält.

Diejenigen die noch nicht Teil einer Gruppe sind, aber mehr aber das aequa-Ökosystem erfahren möchten, sind ebenfalls herzlich willkommen!

DAS TREFFEN IST FÜR DICH, WENN:

du Teil eines aequa Projekts, einer Arbeitsgruppe, einer Lesegruppe oder eines anderen Kollektivs bist oder dich mit anderen Leuten von aequa vernetzen, Ideen austauschen und Unterstützung erhalten möchtestdu von aequa gehört hast und interessiert bist mehr über uns zu lernen oder dich stärker engagieren möchtestdu Teil unserer erweiterten digitalen Gemeinschaft bist

GEGENSEITIGER RESPEKT

Wir beherbergen und heißen Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Hintergründen und Erfahrungen willkommen. Jeder von uns besteht aus einer Sammlung von sich überschneidenden Privilegien und Unterdrückungen. Die Sprachen, die wir sprechen und verstehen, sind vielfältig und unterschiedlich. Wir bemühen uns, diese Unterschiede zu feiern und eine offene, respektvolle und mitfühlende Haltung zu fördern. Wir versuchen es zu vermeiden, Annahmen über andere zu treffen oder unsere eigenen Meinungen als die einzig gültige Wahrheit abzubilden. Wir gehen von positiven Absichten aus, während wir alle negativen Auswirkungen ansprechen, die sich aus diesem Austausch ergeben. Wir tolerieren NICHT: Rassismus, Cis-Sexismus, Behindertenfeindlichkeit, Altersdiskriminierung, Klassismus, Homophobie, Transphobie, Fremdenfeindlichkeit oder andere hasserfüllte Meinungen oder Verhaltensweisen. Melde dich bitte bei uns, wenn du oder jemand in deiner Umgebung sich nicht wohl oder sicher fühlt.
