Table talks with Berlin initiatives and experts

Right to Housing – Understanding Homelessness

The Berlin Senate expects more than 100,000 unhoused and homeless people by 2030. Behind this number lie lived realities that too often remain invisible. During the festival “Berlin bleibt!”, HAU Hebbel am Ufer invites you to take a closer look – and above all: to enter into conversation.In “Right to Housing – Understanding Homelessness”, people with and without lived experience of homelessness will come together – individuals who are actively engaged in initiatives, associations or social organisations working across different areas of housing and homelessness support. Together with visitors, they will meet in small-group table talks. Everyone is invited to pull up a chair, listen, ask questions – and to move between topics by switching tables. The conversations will cast light on a range of subjects: lived realities on the streets, the possibilities and limits of voluntary work, activist strategies and gaps in the support system, as well as questions of digital participation and the human right to housing. What would Berlin need – politically and socially – to change these realities? At the heart of it all are the people involved: their experiences, their perspectives and their knowledge.
