What is FALa?

The Feminist-Queer Summer Action is an educational and development initiative with accommodation under tents or in a dormitory, for approximately 65 women** and children.

FALa is a COMMUNITY where we interact with each other, talk, learn and take care of each other (supporting each other, cooking, cleaning), play, dance, dream. Every few days we all meet together and talk about how to put the ideas of FALa into practice.

FALa IS DEVELOPMENT AND ACTION: during FALa there are workshops, social actions, film screenings, discussions: from the history and theory of feminism, to WenDo workshops, to movement activities and learning how to repair bicycles. Each person can take part in around 40 hours of activities. Children have a separate programme.

FALa is NON-COMMERCIAL, not for-profit generation. Your entire contribution goes towards providing you with a place to sleep, classes, food, cleaning supplies and materials for the workshops. Participants contributions will also cover the costs of running the children activities, the participation of assistants for people with disabilities and interpreters (FALi will most likely involve Polish and/or Russian speakers). The organisation of FALa and the running of the activities are on a reciprocal exchange basis.

FALa strives to be ACCESSIBLE for people of all abilities, for people experiencing visual, hearing and mobility disabilities: the ground floor of both buildings, including the toilet, is wheelchair accessible.

FALa’s ideas and values:

• COMMUNITY AND INTERACTION
• FEMINISM/S, VEGANISM, ECOLOGY
• DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, ACCESSIBILITY
• MUTUAL EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT
• SAFE SPACE
• EXCHANGE AND RESPONSIBILITY SHARING
