The annual conference “Un/gleich/zeitig” will take place from November 18 to 20, 2024 in the premises of TD Berlin at Klosterstraße 44, 10179 Berlin.

The TD Berlin is a theater in the middle of the city on Molkenmarkt between Alexanderplatz and the Spree.

Some Notes on the Events

The conference consists of presentations, panel discussions, discussion formats, an Open Stage and additional programming which can be academic, practice-oriented, serious or relaxed. Complete silence is not expected during the events. However, there can be a very intense or very concentrated atmosphere when serious topics are being discussed. Anyone who needs a break can leave an event at any time and retreat to the quiet room. No loud music will be played except for during the party on Tuesday evening.

Awareness

With the awareness concept, we want to help to make sure that all of the participants, visitors, colleagues and additional people involved in our conference feel comfortable and are able to easily enter into conversation with each other.

Please be attentive when dealing with each other so that we can create a place of mutual respect together. If you do, however, experience discrimination during the conference, please contact our team for support. All members of the team have been informed in advance about dealing with discrimination or other incidents, can be easily recognized by the sticker each wears and can be addressed at any time.

If you have any questions or feedback, you can also contact us via email or telephone at
