The Congress Night - a Chance for Open Participation

The Congress Night on Thursday, from 3 – 11 p.m., is an opportunity to raise the general public’s awareness of inclusion issues. Congress participants, Bernese residents and tourists can attend lectures, discussions, presentations, workshops and performances. At about twenty attractive locations in the city center, in halls, theaters, churches and cellars, the congress theme will be presented and discussed from very different perspectives. Issues like participation of children in public and in homes, schooling and vocational training as a contribution to inclusion, culture and sports as a chance for participation, juvenile penal systems with inclusive aims and concepts, community oriented inclusion, and barrier freedom will be addressed.

Dancing Together as a Chance for Participation

In many regions and countries round dances have been a part of daily life for centuries. Learning and being able to sing and dance enhances the chances of belonging, of being able to participate and not having to stand offside. The „Association Dialogue”, which aims at intercultural promotion to integrate migrants from Southeastern Europe through exchanges with Swiss people, has been offering courses in round dances from Southeastern Europe for years.

E-Hockey with Rolling Thunder Bern 16.00 - 18.45

At the moment twenty athletes are playing in our squad. Our activities include frequent practises, team events as well as different tournaments in Switzerland and abroad. Since autumn 2004 – when Isabelle Pulver founded the team – e-hockey is a sporting activity in the foundation Rossfeld. The sport has reached high significance within our institution. Until today, we had the pleasure of lifting the trophy for the swiss champion five times. Other victories around Switzerland point to our success as a team and we were also able to collect valuable experiences abroad.

Are you ready to share the experience of this unique sport with us ? If that’s the case, meet the Rolling Thunder and experience the adventure on 4 wheels by yourself!

Children and adolescents who are, for various reasons, alone in another country, that is to say, not accompanied by an adult, are considered one of the most vulnerable categories of minors. What are the experiences of the competent services and aid organizations for care and support of unaccompanied minors? What concepts are proven and what are the biggest challenges? What do these children and adolescents need in order to take ownership of their right to participation and inclusion? Current developments at the European level will be presented and discussed.

Dreaming Meret - RADIO PLAY AND THEATRE COLLAGE 15.30 - 17.30

Do you recall what you dreamt last night? Eight people take out in search for a dream for society.

“Wir träumen Meret“ (Dreaming Meret) is a radio play and theatre project by the collective Kollektiv Frei_Raum that in honour of Meret Oppenheim’s 100th Birthday follows the traces of her work to where she found inspiration and purpose in life, to her dreams. The project is made up of two parts: an audio and sound installation, which was developed in collaboration with the art museum Bern (Kunstmuseum) and a theatre project, which based on Oppenheim’s quote “the artist dreams in the name of society” attempts to create a collective dream.
On the one hand, our work material is made up of Meret Oppenheim’s own dreams, dreams that we have been collecting in the public space and via facebook since October 2012, and personal dreams. On the other hand, the audience is asked to contribute their dreams. Based on the continuous collection of dreams, which will not cease until the project is officially declared as over, we pursue the transferability of dreams onto reality through words, images and atmospheres. Thus trying to allow for space to dwell, talk, listen, watch, meet and remember.
