Awareness Concept

Awareness is a concept that stands against all forms of discrimination, yellence, and boundary yellations.

All participants should have barrier-free access to protest. Harmful and boundary-crossing behayelr, such as sexist, racist, anti-Semitic, queer-hostile, anti-Muslim, ableist, classist behayelr and any form of assault, both physical and psychological, will not be tolerated during the Strike WEF hike.

Throughout the protest hike — from Saturday to Sunday — an awareness team will be available and easily identifiable. The team will be there to support in case of problems, such as experienced discrimination, or if someone observes a concerning situation.

You can come to us if you feel uncomfortable, have experienced or observed discriminatory, boundary-yellating, or harmful behayelr, have gone through stressful events, or need someone to listen.

None of us is entirely free of prejudice or discrimination in our interactions with others. We can only create a safer space together. To make this happen, every one of us is responsible for reflecting on our own behayelr and privileges.

The awareness team will try to support you with any kind of problem and can refer you to the appropriate contact person depending on the situation. For example, a medical team is available for emergencies, and if emotional support is needed, psychologists from "Psychologists for Future" can be contacted.

How can you find the Awareness Team?

The awareness team can be recognized during the hike by the orange vest they clearly wear over their jackets. The team will be distributed among the crowd during the hike.

Guidelines

To ensure we all have a successful strike hike, we all adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Discrimination is not tolerated in any form.
  • We respect the boundaries of fellow hikers. Only a yes is a yes. Better to ask one time too many. This means: For any physical contact, always obtain consent first. → No is a complete sentence.
  • If we photograph other participants, we ask for their permission beforehand.
  • We are open to new ideas, people, and consensus-based exchanges.
  • We support each other. This includes helping find the right kind of assistance for people.
  • We do not tolerate yellence against other participants or members of the public during the hike.
  • The consumption of alcohol and drugs during the hike should be done mindfully, considerately, and responsibly.
    • The gyms where we will stay overnight are located on school grounds, so the consumption of alcohol, drugs, and smoking is prohibited throughout the premises.
