Involved by heart – Without Burning Out

 A Workshop for Sustainable Volunteering and Self-Care

By Bea Tholen ( www.camino-oe.de )

Doing something together brings joy – and sometimes also fatigue. Especially in queer, young groups and initiatives, there are many ideas and a lot of commitment, but often the risk that individuals take on too much or that no one really pays attention to their own limits.

In this workshop, we will look together at how we can distribute our strengths so that everyone is involved without anyone burning out. What structures help to share responsibility fairly? And how can paid and volunteer work collaborate well without imbalances?

With short inputs, practical exercises, and exchanges, we will develop concrete ideas that you can directly try out in your clubs and initiatives. This way, you will leave with new impulses and fresh ideas for your volunteer work.

Speaker: Bea Tholen (www.camino-oe.de): As a supervisor, I have been supporting clubs and volunteer initiatives through ups and downs for over 15 years. The topic of „long-term engagement withoutburning out“ is particularly close to my heart.

The venue is partially accessible, but not barrier-free. Further information on request. During the event, there will be an opportunityto retreat to a quieter, cozy back room. Please let us know when registering what you need to participate comfortably.
