FAIR SHARE
Festival 2024
This year, FAIR SHARE turns five – and we want to celebrate with you!
We’re taking this opportunity to collectively reflect on progress in the sector so far, celebrate what we’ve all accomplished and plot our next steps towards a more feminist social impact sector. And for the first time, we’ll bring together our international and German communities in person.
So what can you expect? Presentations of the FAIR SHARE Monitors, workshops on Feminist Leadership and other topics, somatic breaks, network meetings, and – of course – a party. There’s something in the three days for everyone!
Find more information and check out the programme below.
Our journey so far
FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders aims to spark and sustain a feminist transformation of the social impact sector in Germany and internationally. So far we have:

Run an eight-week webinar series on Feminist Leadership with over 4000 unique registrations from around the world
Set up a virtual home for Feminist Leaders, now in its pilot phase, together with One Future Collective
Established the Women Leadership Lab, Germany’s first feminist leadership programme
Secured commitments to gender equity from 32 international and 26 German organisations, including Oxfam, BRAC, Amnesty and Amref Health Africa

Frequently asked questions
The Robert Bosch Stiftung (Französische Straße 32, 10117 Berlin) is wheelchair-accessible. There is one wheel-chair accessible bathroom on the group floor.
There is also a designated quiet room should you be overstimulated at any point or need support from the awareness team (more info below). There is also a room that can be used for praying or nursing. These are on the second floor.
We ask about accessibility needs during registration and will do our best to accommodate them. If you have more specific questions, please get in touch with festival@fairsharewl.org.
There is one designated gender-neutral bathroom, which is also the wheelchair-accessible bathroom, on the ground floor. We recognise that this set-up is problematic as each group should have their own designated space rather than being forced to share resources. We apologise for this inaccessibility.
DisCheck will provide support should you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or discriminated against during the Festival. You can identify them with green vests and/or nametags. You can also contact them anonymously through QR codes around the space. There is a designated quiet room on the second floor where you can speak to them privately or get other forms of support from them.
There are many groups for whom COVID-19 still poses a serious threat. We therefore ask everyone to test themselves before coming to the Festival, and that you do not attend the Festival if you have any symptoms (regardless of test results). We will also have some tests on hand, so in case you forget you can request one at the check-in area.
Lunch will be provided on Tuesday and Wednesday. Dinner will also be provided at the birthday celebration on Tuesday evening. All food will be vegan and vegetarian, and snacks and coffee/tea/water will be provided throughout the festival.
When registering, you can indicate any dietary requirements.
FAIR SHARE has not booked a block for festival participants, but a hotel we recommend near the venue is Numa | Arc.
Get in touch with festival@fairsharewl.org if you need further information.
