Registration

On this page, you'll find all the information you need to participate in Tipping Points #13 at the 4lthangrund Cultural Center (Vienna, 9th and 20th districts).

It's important that you read through all the information here all the way to the bottom so that you can find everything you need on-site and fully participate. It's also important to us that everyone understands how Tipping Points works and how we want to interact with one another on-site.

If you still have questions after reading this or are just about to pack your backpack, be sure to read through the Last Info-Pack here.

1) Registration (Workshops, Food, Sleeping, …)

Do you already know which workshops you want to attend? Then sign up right here—it's first come, first served!

If you need more information about the workshops, check out the program. But please don't forget to register as soon as possible so we can plan—we'd like to know as early as possible about meal quantities, allergies, full workshops, and so on!

2) Location – 4lthangrund Cultural Center. Vienna, 9th and 20th Districts

Tipping Points #13 will take place at the 4lthangrund Cultural Center. The center occupies two buildings, one at Nordbergstraße 8 and the other at Romanogasse. If you’re not familiar with these locations, please arrive early to check in.

Check-in and our “main building” are located at Nordbergstraße 8. Be sure to come to Nordbergstraße on your first visit to Tipping Points #13. There, we’ll explain everything (what’s where?), including the Awareness concept, Helping Hands shifts, and program updates. Please arrive 30 minutes before your first program item begins!

If you come back later, please always arrive 10–15 minutes before the workshop starts, as there may be changes or lines may form.

Meals and the supporting program will take place in the same building. There is a small park nearby for breaks. The second location (Romanogasse) is 15 to 30 minutes away, depending on your mode of transportation.

Directions, including photos of the ramps at the entrance, can be found here.

3) Getting there + Travel costs

If you’re traveling from outside Vienna by public transportation, you can get your travel expenses reimbursed. To do so, please keep your original tickets and stop by our check-in desk. Please book your train ticket as early as possible to avoid unnecessarily high costs!

The nearest subway station is: U6 Jägerstraße (about 500 meters). Even closer is the Gerhardusgasse tram stop (trams 12 and 31; about 150 meters).

Even if you're already familiar with the venue, please set aside about 30 minutes before your first workshop for check-in, information, and finding the room so that the workshops can start on time.

4) Donations for the workshops

Organising events, putting together a great workshop programme, inviting speakers, cooking for people, a crisp supporting programme - we want to offer you all of this, and it all costs money.

At the same time, we want skills and methods to be accessible to as many people as possible. That's why there is a recommendation for different participation donations that you can choose depending on your possibilities:

• Supported participation: recommended donation € 0 - 10 per workshop, €2 per meal
• Standard participation: recommended donation € 16 - 40 per workshop, €5 per meal
• Supporter participation: recommended donation € 41 - 80 per workshop, €12 per meal
• Supporter Package: donations from € 190 for the whole event (and get a goodie bag); bank transfers in advance are very welcome!

You can transfer the donation after registration or donate in cash on site. Higher donations make it possible for others to pay less. Early bank transfers help us to already pay bills now.

Please also consider how much you would pay or donate for workshops elsewhere. If similar workshops are usually worth, say, 50 or even 100 to you, we’d appreciate it if you paid the same amount per workshop at Tipping Points, even if you attend 3 or 4 of them. Our workshops aren’t worth any less just because there are so many of them. 😉
We understand that 400,– for 4 workshops can be a lot of money all at once—you’re welcome to pay in installments.

5) Viruses and other infections

Tipping Points brings together a large number of people from diverse backgrounds, some of whom may need to be more cautious about potential risks of infection than others. We want to be prudent, so the following rules apply. If necessary, we will implement additional rules on-site:

• If you have cold symptoms in the days leading up to Tipping Points, please get tested for COVID-19 and the flu before traveling, if possible. If you are sick, we ask that you stay home.
• We'll have some rapid tests available on-site, which we're offering at cost—€1 each. It's better to get tested once too often than not enough.
• We will also have masks at site.
• If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to wear a mask to protect yourself and others.
• We ask all those whose safety needs and medical circumstances differ from our guidelines to handle this respectfully and communicate with us thoughtfully. We also welcome feedback on this matter.

6) Barriers

Physical Barriers
The building on Nordbergstraße is accessible via steps and ramps. The ramps are short but have some curves. The outer entrance door opens outward. There is a large, wheelchair-accessible restroom on the ground floor. Other floors that we use for workshops are accessible via a large elevator.

If you need help accessing the building, please email us at: tipping-points@humus.live

Language
Most of the workshops are in German, but in each slot there is also at least one in English, which is marked accordingly in the program overview. For the evening program on Friday and Saturday we organize translation into English.

People with visual* impairments
The venue is not equipped with a wayfinding system. The rooms are somewhat labyrinthine and are also used by other groups, who may store materials there. It is not easy for people with visual* impairments to navigate the rooms on their own. We’d be happy to provide you with a guide. Please contact us in advance.

Deaf and hard of hearing
Unfortunately, we do not have sign language interpretation.

Children
Childcare will be available on Saturday morning during the workshop hours. If you need childcare outside of these hours, please let us know—we’re sure we can work something out together! Feel free to ask the presenters if you can bring your children along. Depending on their age, this will certainly be possible for some—if not all—of them.

Assistance Dog are welcome as long as they are on a leash.

Awareness
We have an awareness team on site that you can talk to. There will also be an awareness room where you can retreat if it all gets too much.

In Tipping Points #13, our awareness concept applies

Is alcohol served during the events?
Drinks are available at the building on Nordbergstraße, and alcoholic beverages will also be served at the evening events. However, Tipping Points is not a party, so there will be no excessive alcohol consumption. An Awareness Team is always on hand in case any unpleasant situations arise.

Let's fight the barriers!
If you want to take part in Tipping Points in the future, but there are any barriers standing in your way at the moment, please write us an email to tipping-points@humus.live.

Once you've registered ...
