Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A laboratory about collective grief, broken promises and what lies beneath the anger<\/h2>\n

Anyone who works in civil society is used to projects coming to an end. The third sector is familiar with uncertainty, time limits and upheaval. However, what is currently happening has a different quality: structures that have grown over the years are to be dismantled. Work that protected and strengthened people is losing its foundation. What seemed secure has begun to totter.<\/p>\n

That makes you angry. And that's a good thing. Anger mobilises, it warms, it connects, it makes us loud, it drives us to find new ways.<\/p>\n

AND<\/strong> Underneath the anger there is usually something else, something quieter: the grief over a loss that we cannot yet properly put into words; the grief over a promise that has been broken, the grief over a future that we have fought for and built on. There is rarely room for all of this in everyday project work. The next proposal is waiting, the next meeting, the next idea.<\/p>\n

In this SOCIUS lab, we want to create precisely this space and pause together.<\/p>\n

We do not assume that grief has to be processed in order to leave it behind. We believe that it needs to be integrated - that it needs a place, attention, community, acceptance. Grief belongs to us. Even the collective one.<\/p>\n

Our questions for this lab: How can we integrate what lies behind the anger into our everyday lives in such a way that it does not weaken us in the long term - but sustains us? And how do we create spaces for collective grief that strengthen rather than paralyse?<\/p>\n

We don't come with ready-made answers. We put these questions in the centre - and explore them together. We have a few ideas and approaches that we are happy to place in the centre.<\/p>\n

This lab is aimed at people who are themselves affected by cutbacks and the dismantling of civil society structures - whether they are in the middle of it or already through it. And to counsellors, facilitators and companions who want to shape or design such processes with others. No prior knowledge is required - just a willingness to pause for thought.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
