With our workshop "Health at every size" (HAES) we want to focus on an aspect of critical health care, the assumption that a healthy life often demands a change in weight. In the concept of "Health at Every Size" body weight plays no role, instead, it is looked at the whole person and the social environment. The assumption of HAES is, that a life of love and acceptance creates a good condition in order to live a healthy life. Including the experience that weight changes, especially weight loss, very rarely leads to a longlasting success. The goal, an establishment of HAES in Europe, will be too big for such a workshop, but we want to go a step into that direction, knowing, that we face lots of other very tight ideas in health politics concerning the ideas of weight loss, including the economic interest of the whole diet industry. We want to deal with both within the workshop, we want to discuss the social-political context, as well as new ideas with our own possibilities of a healthy life.
Mit unserem Workshop „Health at every size“ (HAES) wollen wir uns dem Gesundheitsaspekt des Körpergewichts und der damit verbundenen Gesundheitsvorsorge kritisch widmen. Bisher wird in der Medizin viel der Gedanke, „Gesundheit durch Gewichtsreduktion“ vermittelt. Bei „Health at every size“ spielt das Körpergewicht keine Rolle, stattdessen wird auf den ganzen Menschen und sein gesellschaftliches Umfeld geschaut. Dahinter steckt die Annahme, dass ein Leben in Liebe und Akzeptanz zu sich selbst, aber auch durch andere Menschen, eine gute Voraussetzung schafft, um gesund leben zu können. Diese Annahme ist verbunden, mit der Erfahrung, dass Gewichtsveränderungen sehr selten zum Erfolg führen, stattdessen Gesundheitsrisiken und verminderte Lebensqualität mit sich bringen. HAES in Europa zu etablieren oder zumindest die Vorstellung, dass dies eine Option sein könnte, heißt dicke Bretter in der Gesundheitspolitik zu bohren. Sehr fest ist die Vorstellung, ein gesundes Leben ist nur mit Gewichtsabnahme zu erreichen, in Gesundheitspolitik und Medien verankert, vom wirtschaftlichen Interesse der Diätindustrie ganz zu schweigen. Wir wollen uns im Workshop sowohl mit den gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen auseinandersetzen und diese diskutieren, genauso wie mit den eigenen Vorstellungen und Möglichkeiten eines gesunden Lebens.

Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
Visually impaired people from all over Europe come together to exchange positive and negative aspects of their own lives and places concerning mobility and create a visualy impaired friendly model of Europe in order to use it as an inspiration for changes in the real world. The realisation will be based on the so-called future workshop method and encompasses three phases. The first phase serves to establish a critical understanding of the theme and the problems in question. Hence, the participants will be asked to explore Berlin and document (writing, photo, clips) all what they discover as problematic in connection to their impairment and compare it to the situation in the places they come from. The results will be categorized on a visual map showing Europe as it is now for visually impaired people. In a second phase the participants work out a utopia, an exaggerated picture of future possibilities. In this so-called Fantasy phase the participants use brainstorming techniques and creative games to find and to reflect utopian solutions. They will imagine and create (draw, making a collage etc.) an “visionary” model of Europe where all the mobility-related problems they experience in the real world are solved. In the last phase, the participants will withdraw from these imaginary world ideas that have a realistic and possible application and will work out practical next steps in order to realize them. Also they will be informed about self-help structures of visually impaired people and possibilities for participation on a national and European level. The workshop will be accompanied by activities for intercultural learning and empowerment. The organizers strive to achieve an environment of inclusion by its accessibility, non-discriminatory and respectful atmosphere and professional educational guidance, staffing and resources.
