WORKSHOP SENSITIVITY READING

Reaching new target groups

 

How can we achieve diverse storytelling without slipping into stereotypical and discriminatory narratives? Sensitivity Reading offers expert guidance in this area. However, the approach is also the subject of some debate: What scope for artistic freedom remains? Does Sensitivity Reading restrict creative expression? In this workshop, you will learn how to use Sensitivity Reading effectively and integrate it profitably into your projects.

Diversity as a success factor in the company

In this workshop, you will learn how to attract diverse talent to your company and create an inclusive work environment where all employees can reach their full potential.

PREVENTION WORKSHOP

For film and theatre productions

 

According to the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), companies are obligated to protect their employees from discrimination and harassment. Prevention workshops have proven to be an effective way to raise team awareness of these issues. How can conflicts be addressed before they become entrenched or escalate? How can respectful interaction be maintained despite steep hierarchies and tightly scheduled work environments? The workshop serves as a team-building exercise, familiarizes participants with the legal framework of the AGG, and demonstrates effective strategies for dealing with discrimination and harassment. This ensures compliance with legal requirements and fosters a respectful and productive work atmosphere. >>> Book workshop

WORKSHOP D&I STORYTELLING

Discovering the potential of diverse storytelling

 

Diversity demonstrably leads to more innovation and opens up opportunities for greater economic success. Nevertheless, many producers still focus on a white, middle-class audience – leaving significant potential demand untapped. In this workshop, you will learn how to leverage diversity as a success factor and integrate it profitably into your daily production processes.

AWARENESS IN THE FILM INDUSTRY

Creating a respectful work environment

 

The signing of the Respect Code Film has set new standards for the film industry. Now it's about putting them into practice. But how do I set up a complaints office? How do I fulfill my duty to inform and prevent? And how do I create a work environment in which conflicts are recognized and resolved early on, so they don't fester or even escalate? This workshop provides practical support for integrating the Respect Code Film into everyday company and production operations and teaches effective strategies for dealing with discrimination, harassment, and abuse of power.

COMMUNICATION & CONFLICT COMPETENCE

Mastering difficult situations

 

Communication and conflict resolution skills are crucial for successfully navigating challenging situations – both personal and professional. Many people shy away from unpleasant topics or disagreements, yet this is precisely where the opportunity for mutual understanding and lasting solutions lies. In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and gain insight into proven conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques. You will practice effective strategies for setting boundaries, conducting difficult conversations, and recognizing and constructively resolving conflicts early on. This will enhance your leadership skills and provide you with sound knowledge that you can directly apply in your daily life and career. >>> Book workshop
