Support & Services

The SCHOOL OF POLI­TI­CAL HOPE (SPH) is a Ber­lin-based grass­roots school for pro­gres­si­ves who seek ways out of the cur­rent zeit­geist of poli­ti­cal depres­si­on. Prac­ti­cing the lost art of orga­ni­zing hope, cou­ra­ge, and joy means choo­sing the long road — con­scious­ly and with com­mit­ment. Tog­e­ther, it is final­ly time to make the road and unlearn poli­ti­cal hope­l­ess­ness. The SPH is the place whe­re we build the emo­tio­nal con­fi­dence to dream, the rela­tio­nal cou­ra­ge to care, and deve­lop the cul­tu­ral wis­dom to organize.

Youn­gUP! Com­mu­ni­ty Weekend – Cohort 3, Novem­ber 2024, Salt Labs Hal­le (Pho­to: Ron­ny Götter)

»The col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with the faci­li­ta­tors Georg Blo­kus and Sujin J. Noël was extre­me­ly enri­ching and has sus­tain­ab­ly streng­the­ned our three cohorts of par­ti­ci­pan­ts in the all-round pro­gram. The know­ledge and skills were pre­sen­ted in a prac­ti­cal, metho­di­cal­ly varied and under­stan­da­ble way so that it could be appli­ed direct­ly in action-ori­en­ted exer­ci­s­es. The empowe­ring effect of the work­shop was par­ti­cu­lar­ly impres­si­ve and valuable: The faci­li­ta­tors mana­ged to crea­te an atmo­sphe­re of trust and open­ness that enab­led the par­ti­ci­pan­ts to gain new per­spec­ti­ves, deepen their know­ledge and con­fi­dent­ly deve­lop their sto­ries. Georg and Sujin’s abili­ty to adapt to dif­fe­rent group dyna­mics and cur­rent events also pro­mo­ted an exch­an­ge at eye level.«

OMG! Migra­ti­on Launch Event Work­shop by Ber­lin Poly­phon, Novem­ber 2024, Volks­büh­ne Ber­lin (Pho­to: Alex­an­der Meyer)

»Georg and Sujin accom­pa­nied the foun­ding of Ber­lin Poly­phon from the idea to the launch by pro­vi­ding their rich exper­ti­se and expe­ri­ence in streng­thening migrant self-organisations.The initia­ti­ve is a coali­ti­on of Ber­lin migrant self-orga­ni­sa­ti­ons that aims to shed a dif­fe­rent light on the migra­ti­on deba­te. After initi­al con­sul­ta­ti­on with the respon­si­ble offi­cer in the office of the Ber­lin Sena­te Com­mis­sio­ner for Par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on, Inte­gra­ti­on and Migra­ti­on, Julia Port­no­wa, and a coor­di­na­ting group of lea­ders from Ber­lin MSOs, they sup­port­ed the mem­bers on their foun­ding jour­ney in seve­ral needs-ori­en­ted work­shops. The inno­va­ti­ve com­mu­ni­ty orga­ni­zing methods of the two poli­ti­cal orga­ni­sa­tio­nal con­sul­tants were decisi­ve for the con­cep­tu­al, stra­te­gic and staf­fing ori­en­ta­ti­on in the foun­ding pha­se and the proac­ti­ve dis­cus­sion of the par­ti­ci­pan­ts with their needs, wis­hes, goals, expe­ri­en­ces and pos­si­ble pro­blems in the fur­ther cour­se of the launch. As a result, the future crea­ti­on of a code of con­duct was deve­lo­ped tog­e­ther, taking into account aspects cri­ti­cal of power and dis­cri­mi­na­ti­on – an important step in estab­li­shing racism-sen­si­ti­ve and sus­tainable working structures.«

Ger­ma­ny-Wide Coali­ti­on Mee­ting “Pass(t) uns allen”, Novem­ber 2024, Berlin

»Sujin used the con­cept of ›bra­ve space‹ to crea­te a soulful space in which dif­fe­rent per­spec­ti­ves were valued and the par­ti­ci­pan­ts felt safe and respec­ted. Sujin’s empa­the­tic and struc­tu­red faci­li­ta­ti­on made it pos­si­ble to address chal­len­ging topics and dis­cuss dif­fe­ren­ces con­s­truc­tively. This was very well recei­ved by the par­ti­ci­pan­ts and con­tri­bu­ted signi­fi­cant­ly to an open and pro­duc­ti­ve working atmo­sphe­re. As a coali­ti­on of diver­se (post)migrant and racism-cri­ti­cal orga­ni­sa­ti­ons, we attach par­ti­cu­lar importance to working with peo­p­le who know the rea­li­ties of our mem­bers’ lives and fields of work and who sup­port us in a diver­si­ty-sen­si­ti­ve, power-cri­ti­cal and empowe­ring way. Sujin brings all of this to the table and has made an out­stan­ding con­tri­bu­ti­on to our coali­ti­on mee­ting, both in terms of con­tent and in brin­ging us clo­ser tog­e­ther as coali­ti­on partners.«
