(Private event – closed for organisers in Andrými)
A short workshop meant for those who want to organise in Andrými. The workshop has two parts:
Reflect upon what it means to be responsible and accommodating in a radical social space and what the notion of a safer space can mean for different people.
Reviewing all major material safety factors (locations of first aid kits, fire extinguishers and emergency exists etc. …)
The safer space workshop goes over the responsibilities that come with opening the house and taking care of the space. A short overview of key values and guidelines will be followed by a discussion about possible scenarios and solutions as well as a walk-through of the house.
Come over if you would like to learn how to support other people in the space, react to conflicts, get to know more about the work in our solidarity teams during bigger events or better understand why we have created the space.
If you’re already using the space, either organising within/with your group or as a participant, you’re encouraged to get to know how to support other people and build a safer space for all.
Andrými is open due to you, then let’s get together and talk about our radical social centre in town. Learn how to build a community where people feel welcome and safe.
Participants will be introduced to classic texts and cutting edge research. The class will consist of a 30-40 min exposition of the main topic of the day followed by discussion and practical exercises based on the syllabus, current affairs and mediatized content.
The content departures from classical democracy to republicanism, liberal democracy, direct democracy, and its variations.
Some of the contemporary themes include corporate democracy, democracy after 1990s,
institutionalism, structuralism, poststructuralism, globalization and the state, pluralism, elitism, nationalism, modernism, and ethnosymbolism.
Refugees and asylum seekers often find themselves in a liminal space, existing in a gap between the past and the future. In this in-between phase, individuals are neither fully part of their old culture nor fully integrated into a new one. This “liminal phase” is a transitional space commonly described in the context of rites of passage—rituals that mark significant life transitions in many cultures.
In Expressive Arts (EXA) therapy, we invite participants to enter this liminal space through art-making, ritual, and play. This process encourages exploration of the essence of one’s being, an encounter with beauty in the unknown, and the discovery of inner resources and potential. Art provides a means to give shape to fragmented stories, acting as a container for emotions that are difficult to express verbally. It is a way to communicate hope, and the process is resource-oriented, held with care and compassion within a thoughtfully crafted frame.
This (bi-)weekly gathering serves as a temporary home for the displaced and oppressed—a “testimony through art.” The goal is to foster a sense of belonging and connection, preventing withdrawal and helping participants move through physical and mental stagnation. Through creativity and imagination, we aim to cultivate a sense of hope in the midst of uncertainty.
Facilitator: Yi Jen Chang, expressive arts therapist-in-training
*Expressive arts therapy is a therapeutic approach that places the creative process at the center of the human experience. Rather than focusing on advanced skills, it emphasizes the innate creativity of individuals and the heightened sensitivity that enables them to bring new things into being. This integrative approach uses a variety of creative expressions—such as poetry, music, visual arts, theater, clay, movement, and nature-based methods—to help individuals navigate personal challenges/ inquiries and explore their own resources. No previous art experience is required—just your presence.
**Note on Group: For safety and to maintain a consistent dynamic, this will be a closed group with a maximum of 6 participants. This group is currently full. If you’re interested in joining future sessions when space becomes available, please contact Yi Jen at bodywilderness@gmail.com. We will notify you as soon as a new group is formed. This group will be conducted in English, but support for translation may be available for languages spoken by participants. Please note that these sessions can not replace any ongoing therapies or medical treatments. We kindly remind our participants to take care of their own needs during and after these sessions.
