Queer Lunch Break for Newly Arriving Queers

Are you interested in the queer community, but often find yourself at a loss when it comes to queer conversations? Or are you worried you don’t know enough about the queer scene? Are you just starting to wonder if you might be queer? Or do you already know, but aren’t sure what comes next? Have you just moved to Kassel and want to get your bearings in the local communities? Or have you lived here for a while but haven’t yet dared to reach out to the queer community? Then our open house hours for newcomers to the queer community are just for you. Together, we make a special effort to ensure that newcomers feel welcome. After all, we’ve all been newcomers to these communities at some point. (We’d love for you to stop by on any other day, too. You’re always welcome. But with these set dates, there might be more newcomers during the drop-in hours, and sometimes it’s easier to settle in together than alone.)

The Queer Lunchtime is offered by our employees and is open to everyone. Come by, get to know the Queer Center, and learn more about queer groups and services in Kassel and North Hesse. You are welcome to eat here, take a nap, or meet up with friends. In the chill room, you may relax on the sofas and doze or have a friendly chat. In our kitchenette, you may heat up or cook your food, make tea or coffee, or grab a cold drink from the refrigerator. We welcome donations for drinks. You can also bring your ideas for queer events, campaigns, or projects and discuss them with our team. In the office, we can make plans, work on grant applications, and discuss what else you need to bring your ideas for the Queer Center to life. We also have Wi-Fi, a queer library, lots of games, a karaoke machine, a craft room, and much more. We look forward to meeting you!
