Congress
June 14, 2025 | TU Berlin | from 10 a.m.
Organized by CADUS e.V. and the AStA of the TU Berlin

Climate crisis, wars, inflation, blackouts – we live in a time in which crises have become a permanent condition. But how we deal with them is not just a question of technology, but also of attitude: retreating into the private sphere or building structures of solidarity? Isolation or mutual aid?
Our aim is to remove prepping from the right-wing discourse and combine it with solidarity-based, practical and political action. Because crisis preparedness can be done differently – collectively, inclusively and fairly.
Why this congress?
Crises do not affect us all equally. They expose what is already unjust – and reinforce social inequalities.
With the congress, we want to create space for exchange, discussions, strategies and tools for solidarity-based crisis prevention. We are bringing together people who are already working on fair preparedness today – in neighborhoods, initiatives, research or education.
Our aim is to strengthen structures, democratize knowledge and show that a different kind of crisis preparation is possible – if we shape it together.
Topics & Panels:
Theory meets practice, criticism meets action – for a resistant, solidary crisis preparation.
Details? Coming soon!
We will publish further details and the exact panel content here in the next few days.
Look forward to diverse perspectives and concrete approaches from science, activism and community practice.
