Awareness Workshop: Speaking without Othering

EXPLORING OUR COMMON GROUNDS: for Speaking Without Othering with Selin M.


Rethinking Inclusion as a Felt Experience


We often talk about inclusion, but what if our words unintentionally create distance instead of connection?
In this workshop, we slow down and ask deeper questions:
How do we speak with people, not about them?
How can we welcome without demanding personal disclosure?

What makes a space truly safe, seen, and shared?
We’ll explore how invisible disabilities, migration, and layered identities shape how we show up. And how inclusion lives not just in policy, but in presence, silence, tone, and care.

Grounded in intersectional and embodied practices, this session invites reflection, not instruction. It’s not a checklist – it’s a conversation.

Come as you are. Your complexity belongs.

➡️ Selin M. is an interdisciplinary researcher, writer, and facilitator whose healing-centered work bridges ethnology, gender studies, postcolonial and migration studies, and narrative inquiry. She creates reflective spaces that blend academic and community-based methods to explore collective trauma, intersectional discrimination, and inclusion as a relational, consent-based practice. Through workshops, coaching, and long-term projects, Selin fosters emotionally resonant, justice-oriented approaches to resilience and belonging.

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional work & social club in Berlin and Germany. This safer space is exclusively for women, trans, inter and non-binary people who identify as Black, indigenous or of Colour! Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
