German /  approx. 120 mins.

Kiki Lounge Berlin warmly invites you to the first networking event “Social Work & Care for trans queer youth, in and outside Berlin’s Ballroom Scene”. The focal point is the short documentary “Home,” introducing the youth project Kiki Lounge Berlin – a space for trans & queer youth (ages 14–27) dedicated to conveying Ballroom Culture since March 2022. 
The subsequent workshop invites participants to discuss ongoing projects and their challenges. Alongside discussions on the current needs of BIPoC trans & queer youth, reflection on successes and challenges and visions for the future will be a central theme. 
Twiggy Pucci Garçon (Chief Strategy Officer of “true Colors,” USA) will also be present. As an expert in ballroom culture and social work, she will share her insights and perspectives with the Berlin community. 
Young people, parents, social workers, teachers, those interested in the field of political and cultural education, as well as representatives of organisations and initiatives are invited.
