25 Years Queer Easter – Lesbians and Gays (still) support the Miners!

Queer people were always part of the working class, and the working class was always full of queer people. But it took a decades long struggle to unite these two struggles for liberation. Until today, materialistic and queer perspectives are sometimes considered incompatible. That is why on the 25th anniversary of Queer Easter, we look back into the past to find answers for our present struggles. How will we achieve the class-less society that is queer, that is feminist, too? Why must the fight against capitalism be linked to queer liberation? And what happened during the last 25 years at the Kurt Löwenstein Youth Education Centre during the many past editions of Queer Easter?

Join us for this special event, that will be a celebration of the work done in the past 25 years. We changed many lives, built friendships that lasted forever, and together, we understood better who we are and who we will become. We dedicate this jubilee to all former participants and teamers – ready to start the next 25 years together with you!

The programme is developed by the International Team of Kurt Löwenstein Education Centre. We will work in track-sessions every day. But we will leave plenty of time per day for other parts of the programme participants self-organise, with the help of the International Team, but also themselves. In committees we organise our free time and evenings. We will have time to share workshops also participants bring with them and spend one day on a field trip in Berlin. Much more will develop and happen.

The seminar will be conducted in English; thus, it will be rather hard to understand the instructions and fully participate if your English is limited. However, you may help each other out in delegations.
