> Bulaban Circus is a refugee-led social circus based in Saadnayel, in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
> In a region deeply affected by displacement, economic crisis and social division, Bulaban's circus tent offers something precious: a safe, courageous and joyful space where children, young people, women, artists and people from diverse and marginalised communities can meet, create and feel that they belong.
> Bulaban is shaped and led by a diverse team of Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese and international artists, clowns and activists, including women and members of the queer community.
> Through circus, clowning, workshops, parades and performances, Bulaban creates moments of freedom, laughter and connection, empowering people to express themselves without fear and imagine a more inclusive future. Our artistic practice is a form of resistance: it confronts and reflects on colonisation, displacement and oppression while reclaiming space for joy, dignity, collective expression and solidarity.
> This fundraising event is organised by Bulaban Berlin, Bulaban Circus's sister collective, to materially support the work with communities in Lebanon.
12-2pm

How to be Soft
> Are you gooey? 'Cos I’m pretty gooey. What does that mean? Well…
> There is a saying: ‘Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.’ But in a world where sadness, anger, and grief are sidelined - because let’s face it, nobody profits from a good, cathartic cry - there is little room for our softer sides.
> Hosted by performer and facilitator Netto Baby, How to Be Soft is a space for collective vulnerability. Part grief-circle, part exploration, we will begin with a short meditation, move into an open sharing circle, and close with a conversation about what softness means to us: how we resource it, and how we can make more room for it in our communities.
> The sharing format is simple: 5 minutes each to speak about whatever is on our hearts, with space to share or just listen. This isn't about spiritual bypassing or ‘optimising’. It’s an opportunity to reclaim our softness so we can show up with more compassion, presence, and discernment.
> Come and be SOFT!
12:30-3:30pm
WORLDPLAY
> Worldplay is a new network for people playing with possible worlds, games, strange economies and ways of organising otherwise.

> We’ll meet at Casino, introduce Worldplay and use some playing cards to collect questions, ideas and things people might want to bring into the mix. Then at 15:30 we’ll head outside for a street game around Sonnenallee, involving an improvised tour through invisible layers of the neighbourhood, making up stories, signs and a street language as we go.
> We’re hoping this is the start of a Worldplay node in Berlin, with more games, experiments and gatherings to come.
> Artists, game designers, organisers, neighbours, friends and curious people welcome.
6-9pm
Livestream watching party: KgK's discussion with French activists about the student uprising (in German)

> Seit einer Woche blockieren französische Schüler:innen ihre Schulen gegen Kürzungen, Rassismus, Leistungsdruck und unsinnige Strafen, die ihnen im Schulalltag auferlegt werden. Die Regierung hat mit einer wahnsinnigen Welle von Polizeigewalt geantwortet: Gummigeschosse, Taser, Schlagstöcke. Doch die Jugendlichen lassen sich davon nicht einschüchtern. Selbst Lehrkräfte haben gestreikt, um gegen die Repressionen zu protestieren.
> Am Samstag, dem 3. Oktober um 18 Uhr, diskutiert Klasse gegen Klasse mit französischen Aktivst:innen der Bewegung, wie die Situation gerade genau ist und was wir tun können, um sie zu unterstützen.

3:30-5pm
Autistic Peer Support Group
> The focus of this initiative so we all have a baseline structure: This initiative is grounded in the lack of accessible support for late-identified, high-masking autistic individuals in English in Berlin. The space aims to be designed around autistic communication needs, meaning intentionally slow down the conversational flow, take pauses, and remove the pressure for fast-paced back-and-forth chatter.
> It centers those navigating patriarchal gender expectations (FLINTA, socialized female). Society conditions these groups from young to put others' comfort first, demanding constant social harmony; managing everyone else’s feelings, avoiding conflict, suppressing their own boundaries through people-pleasing, performing high emotional labor, and intensely masking natural autistic traits. Trying to meet these social expectations while suppressing sensory overload and communication needs often leads to severe burnout, medical gaslighting, and internalized distress. The initiative aims to provide a safe space for people experiencing this intersection of oppressions to process these shared structural dynamics and communicate safely.'

Three years of genocide in Gaza - three years of German complicity (SVU's open plenary)
> Open plenary of Sozialismus von unten (in German, with the possibility of English whisper translation). The first half, featuring Ramsy Kilani, will be dedicated to discussing the current situation of the Palestine movement in Germany. (Please wear a mask if you're experiencing cold symptoms.)
> SVU's description of the event:
> Im September 2025 erlebte die Palästina-Bewegung in Deutschland einen nie zuvor erreichten Höhepunkt. Über 100.000 Menschen gingen bei der United4Gaza Demonstration in Berlin gegen den Völkermord auf die Straße und forderten die deutsche Komplizenschaft mit dem Genozid zu beenden. Kurz darauf trat der „Waffenstillstand“ in Gaza in Kraft und im Frühjahr rückte der US-Krieg gegen den Iran in den Vordergrund.
> Ein Jahr später ist die Bewegung stark abgeflacht. Zeitgleich eröffnen israelische Rüstungskonzerne, wie in Adlershof, Fabriken auf deutschem Boden, die Bundesregierung liefert weiterhin Waffen und Protest wie der, der Ulm-5 wird stark kriminalisiert.
> Beim SVU-Plenum am 07.10. wollen wir deshalb darüber diskutieren, wo die Bewegung aktuell in Deutschland steht, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten sich uns bieten und wie wir weiterhin für Palästina kämpfen können!
> PS: Wer Erkältungssymptome hat, bitte daheim bleiben oder Maske tragen. 🙏
