Consent Discussion & Educational project
This thread is to discuss about CONSENT and to co-create & share educational material to offer to the community at the Kiez Burn event and satellite events too!
As consent is our 11th principle and as consent is always about education, why not put some poster in the toilets (It has been done at other burns like Nowhere).
🌼Come discuss consent, post your resources, share what happened to you (at Kiez Burn or somewhere else), ask your questions, etc
Educational content for your campmates:
About consent at the burn, see for reference:
Consent principle https://www.11thprincipleconsent.org/
Protocols from Nowhere http://dustyconsent.pbworks.com/w/page/125248589/DUSTY%20CONSENT where is listed all the, an explanation about consent and burn, and a lot of resources (even 1 in german)

Thank you!
Organisation -
Here is a drive folder in the Kiez Burn Organization drive to keep material
How to provide info at the event?
I've been told @Fabi 🦥 was printing some stuff out. Could you print and laminate around 40 A4-poster on top of whatever you're already doing? Thanks a lot. Veroca told me it would fall under the volunteers' budget. (See below to have the documents)
For this year, I can grab the poster and put them up in the toilets on Wednesday and take them back on Monday or Sunday evening.
However, I'm not sure I will be returned to Kiez Burn next year. Should I give it to someone? Maybe @River Aleks from welfare? Maybe @Caro T or anyone from a kinky/queer-barrio who (i hope) should care about consent?
@Veroca R. Sala if there is space available, I would love to make a blast on social Media/Telegram with educational content about consent at burn.
Which poster will be used
@Sunniva will do the posters!! Woop! They will have the Kiez Burn logo and everything.
The plan is to make one about hearing a no, one about silence is not consent and we are a diverse community and people express themselves differently and one about being a bystandar.
Inspiration:
The noBed, Yes!Bed (Nowhere) ones in English and in german: 9 different poster + their german translation. We can put both langage in each toilet
Sexism Free Night ones in english: 3 poster, 2 page each (see attached)I will not put this poster because of the confusion it might bring: It is not because it comes from a sexist/patriarchal behavior that consent breach is always male on female.This short one can go at urinals http://loslassen.org/consent/ thanks @Ale

The poster I have are not perfect but they are better than nothing. If you have any idea of what we can use instead right now please hit up the comment

Heya I like these posters! Was having a talk about this very idea earlier today and love this initiative. I would like to suggest/add an additional poster in this theme which is 'how to ask for consent?' because I think sadly there are some people who just aren't very well practiced in this area -especially those new to Burns/the idea of consent as a principle. Also taking into account some people are not able to actively say no or may go into 'freeze' mode based on how they respond to a situation, so consent ideally is proactively sought on all sides.
I imagine it would have some basic check in phrases to help normalise these when they're seen (& hopefully heard) around. 'Are you comfortable?' 'Would you like to...?' 'Would you like to slow down?' 'Can I x/y/z?' 'Should we take a little break?' etc.

I need to think about wich educational thing we can send. Do you think the dusty consent project will resonate with people because it is at another burn and it takes in account burn culture? But the website is just... ugly
I do not understand your question? What is the copy?
Fabi 🦥 Tue 27 Jul 2021 12:27PM
@Veroca R. Sala how many copies? b/w or color?
Fabi 🦥 Tue 27 Jul 2021 12:33PM
@Veroca R. Sala i won't have to charge for a quantity of 40-50 sheets printed. if they all need to be laminated i could probably do that for 20€
Caroline Mon 26 Jul 2021 3:33PM
Yes it is a good idea. However, it might bring a storm here, as it's always the case with touching subject like consent. I will not have the energy or the time to answer everything if it goes out of hands.
I can remove the Sexism Free Night poster as it is touchy -especially for male victims- to associate patriarcat with consent violation. It is a very intricated subject and that might not be the time and place to talk about it.
Veroca R. Sala Tue 27 Jul 2021 3:03PM
So a final number of copies is better to coordinate with @Caroline . I can only say I can provide with those 60 bucks to print the toilet posters ( maybe a bit more)
there are two initiatives here @Fabi 🦥
1# toilet posters in color
To my understanding ( Caro correct me if im wrong) the most relevant are the Toilets posters, 40 ( 2 units per toilet) + 16 ( to add to welfare, rangers, gate etc) these will be copies in color + laminated IF possible and sufficient budget.
I could try to extract some ore budget from volunteer coordination and direct more to this purpose given I consider these posters are important to raise awareness in a burn that every year welcomes newbies, if the posters were laminated they could be reused next year ❤️
#2Complementary educational material - Black and white
As I understand it depends on whether Caro wants to move forward and offer the extra educational reading material for each Kiez.
If she does, Im not sure how many pages will these bundles have. From what I see in the listed linked material on this very thread, looks like altogether could be something like 6 double-sided-printed pages for each camp (?) we have 35 Kieze (?).
We could request a few bucks to each Kiez that wants to have it (we only need to know how much is it)
@Fabi 🦥 All these data are very lightly calculated. But for you to have a rough idea of what we are talking about.
Caroline Tue 27 Jul 2021 5:54PM
@Fabi 🦥 awsomly cheap! @Sunniva is going to make beatiful poster with the kiezburn logo so people reading it take the educational part more seriously. When would it be the deadline for sending you the poster?
@Veroca R. Sala i can distribute material to the kiez but i don't know what to use and i will not have time to coordinate with kiez in details.
The Nowhere's barrio consent guide is awsome to read before the burn (especially by veteran camp member, it's focusing on leading by example). Maybe just sending that to read to kiez leads is a good enough start... @Erin Jeavons-Fellows
Cris Wed 28 Jul 2021 10:37AM
Yes,please!!
Veroca R. Sala · Mon 26 Jul 2021 4:46PM
the "copy" is the text itself. i Meant, perhaps Kiez Burners wanted to adjust the content of posters (?),
Maybe we just collect all materials and then we choose what goes best in thw toilets... We could just gather all these and facilitate materials to a workshop or something in the future. ❤️
