Kurdish Dance

**Kurdish Dance - Queer Bridges** with ***Yada*** for **LGBTQIA+ Queer Migrants** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w37-2026/)** Rooted in ancient traditions, Kurdish dance is a collective practice where dancers connect, support, and move as one. Present in joy, grief, and struggle, it carries cultural memory and layered meaning; embodying identity, history, and resistance. **Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement.** Queer people with experiences of migration and/or displacement in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments. With the support of the **Deutsche Fernsehlotterie Stiftung**, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers. We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer folks with experiences of migration and/or displacement. ✅ Our **Queer Bridges** program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates. **General Information** **Participants**: This workshop is for all who identify as LGBTQ+ and have experienced migration and/or displacement. If you don’t share these experiences but are interested in joining please reach out to us first to see if space is available. We ask that all participants respect the program’s core focus and contribute to fostering an open respectful space. **Registration**: This event has limited spots available. Registration through our website is therefore required. **Language**: English **Cost:** The event is free of charge. 🔵 **Kurdischer Tanz- Queer Bridges** mit ***Yada*** fur **LGBTQIA+ Queere Migranten** ##### Kostenlos mit[ ](https://wearevillage.org/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w19-2026/)[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w37-2026https://wearevillage.org/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w37-2026) Verwurzelt in alten Traditionen ist kurdischer Tanz eine kollektive Praxis des Verbindens und gemeinsamen Bewegens. Er begleitet Freude, Trauer und Widerstand und trägt kulturelles Gedächtnis; ein Ausdruck von Identität, Geschichte und gelebtem Widerstand. **Queer Bridges: Verbindungen schaffen und Ressourcen für LGBTQIA+ Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung bereitstellen.** Queere Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung in Berlin sehen sich in ihrem täglichen Leben oft mit besonderen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die ihren Zugang zu unterstützenden Gemeinschaften und integrativen Umgebungen einschränken können. Mit Unterstützung der **Deutschen Fernsehlotterie Stiftung**, haben wir das Programm Queer Bridges entwickelt, um diese Hürden zu überwinden. Wir bieten Ressourcen, Vernetzung und Unterstützung in einem einladenden Umfeld für queere Migrant\*innen und Geflüchtete durch unser spezielles Programm. Unser Ziel ist es, ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit zur lokalen LGBTQIA+ Community zu fördern und damit eine reibungslose Integration sowie eine verbesserte Lebensqualität für queere Menschen mit Migrations- und/oder Fluchterfahrung zu ermöglichen. ✅ Unser **Queer Bridges** Programm wird sich stetig weiter entwickeln und wir freuen uns auch jederzeit von Euren Bedarfen zu hören.

Onigiri Workshop

Reis bildet das Herzstück der japanischen Küche. Ihn richtig zuzubereiten bedeutet jedoch viel mehr, als ihn einfach nur zu kochen. In diesem praktischen Workshop lernt ihr, wie japanischer Reis richtig gewaschen, vorbereitet und gekocht wird. Anschließend bereiten wir daraus gemeinsam Onigiri und hausgemachtes Sushi zu. Nach dem gemeinsamen Kochen setzen wir uns zusammen und genießen unser Abendessen. Einige eurer selbst gemachten Onigiri könnt ihr anschließend mit nach Hause nehmen. In der Teilnahmegebühr sind der Workshop, das Abendessen, alkoholfreie Getränke sowie Onigiri zum Mitnehmen enthalten. Alkoholische Getränke sind nicht inbegriffen. Rice is at the heart of Japanese cuisine—but preparing it well involves much more than simply cooking it. During this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to wash, prepare and cook Japanese rice properly. We will then use it to make onigiri and home-style sushi together. After cooking, we’ll sit down and enjoy dinner together. You’ll also be able to take some of your handmade onigiri home with you. The fee includes the workshop, dinner, soft drinks and onigiri to take home. Alcoholic drinks are not included. 一緒におにぎりを作って夕食を楽しみませんか？ 参加費には夕食費、飲み物代も含まれています。作ったおにぎりはもちろん家に持って帰ることもできます。 気軽にご参加ください！
