Leipzig

The Leipzig regional group was founded at the beginning of 2017. After a break due to the coronavirus pandemic, we started up again in 2023 with new members and a lot of energy and enthusiasm. We are interested in analysing and criticising the present, a vision of a better future and working on ideas on how we can get from one to the other #transformationstrategies.

That's what we're currently working on:

• As a new group, we started by working on what we understand by Care Revolution and collecting what we as a group feel like doing and what actions we want to implement.

• This gave rise to the idea of Care Portraits, which are intended to make care workers visible in our neighbourhood. We are currently actively working on their realisation.

• As a regional group, we are also helping to organise the network's anniversary celebrations, which are due to take place in Leipzig in autumn 2024.

• We are also networking with other Leipzig groups that work on care and feminist issues in general.

Past projects:

• The care working group focussed on the situation in hospitals and care for the elderly. In order to work towards improved care conditions, we have accompanied and supported strikes in hospitals and intervened in the political discourse on the topic of care with high-profile campaigns.

• The Education/Conference working group organised a MitMachKonferenz, which took place in Leipzig from 17 to 19 November 2017. There were lectures, workshops, panel discussions and much more on the topic of care.

Join in:
We currently meet every three weeks in the west of Leipzig, alternating between evenings with a nice get-together afterwards and mornings, to give people with care responsibilities the opportunity to take part in the plenary sessions. We are an open group and are always happy to welcome interested people. No previous knowledge is required, just send us an e-mail!
