Fortbildung: Methoden zum Globalen Lernen
Torhaus des Umweltzentrum, Dresden (Bremer Str. 18)
4. November 25
Political Art Nights is a local action project funded by the European Solidarity Corps. It is planned and led by young people with the support of CAMBIO e.V., and takes clear inspiration from CAMBIO’s annual festival, Political Art Days, which has created spaces for people to come together and explore social, global, and ecological issues through art, culture and education.
This project brings that experience into a year-round format, by organising events and actions that are accessible to both CAMBIO’s networks and the wider public.
We are a committed international group of people living in Dresden who aim to create inclusive democratic spaces by hosting multilingual and English-friendly events, addressing sustainability through artistic expression, and promoting learning through non-formal education methods.
We believe that engaging with complex global issues can be fun, playful, and deeply meaningful. By using creative methods, we open doors to peer-to-peer knowledge, build inclusive communities, and empower collective change.

We wish for an event that, through mindful interaction with one another, becomes a good experience for everyone. Please take care of each other.
The space of the Political Art Nights aims to invite and make diversity tangible. As organizers, we try to consider diversity on multiple levels.
As organizers, we are attentive and sensitive to sexism, racism, xenophobia, ableism, body-shaming, homophobia, and transphobia, as well as to each person’s boundaries and needs.
If you feel discriminated against or witness discriminatory behavior, please speak to us.
In case you take pictures with other people visible, ask for consent before posting.
Awareness stands for consciousness, mindfulness, respect, and appreciation in how we interact with one another.
The Political Art Nights is not only a space of freedom, it is also a space where everyone should feel comfortable and safe.
We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, (sexualized) violence, or boundary violations.
We, organizers of PAN, will be your awareness team. There will be a designated person who will be indicated each night to be the primary contact person. Feel free to approach us!
