English version below<\/em><\/p>\n Hilfe, ich bin ein Exot?! Diskussionen<\/b> Aktiv werden<\/b><\/p>\n Vegan leben ist ein sehr wichtiger Schritt, um sich an etlichen Ungerechtigkeiten nicht mehr zu beteiligen. Es ist entsprechend allerdings auch recht passiv. Vorleben kann viel bewirken, aber um die Probleme auf gesellschaftlicher und politischer Ebene zu bearbeiten braucht es Menschen, die sich aktiv f\u00fcr Ver\u00e4nderung einsetzen. Und oft m\u00f6chte man die Dinge auch einfach in die Hand nehmen, sobald man f\u00fcr die Thematik sensibilisiert ist. Gerade weil die Gr\u00fcnde f\u00fcr Veganismus so vielseitig sind er\u00f6ffnen sich auch diverse M\u00f6glichkeiten, nach eigenem Interesse aktiv zu werden. Tierrechte, Klimabewegung, Menschenrechte und Naturschutz profitieren letztlich alle davon. Hier ein paar Anregungen:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.stura.uni-freiburg.de\/gremien\/referate\/tierrechte<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.vegane-hochschulgruppe.de\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Im Einsatz f\u00fcr vegane Unimensen: <\/span>https:\/\/food4thoughtcampaign.org\/en\/home\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n 3. Eigenen Einfluss vervielfachen.<\/b> Soll hei\u00dfen: schreib eMails ans Studiwerk oder an PolitikerInnen und Beh\u00f6rden und frag im Supermarkt oder Restaurant gezielt nach veganen Produkten. Es sind diese kleinen aktiven Handlungen, die sich aufsummieren und Kritik bzw Anregungen bei Personen und Einrichtungen mit \u00c4nderungsmacht anbringen. Dadurch kann man quasi ohne viel Aufwand ein exponentielles Veganwachstum anregen. Und: steter Tropfen h\u00f6hlt den Stein.<\/span><\/p>\n 4.Onlineaktivismus.<\/b> Erfordert Fingerspitzengef\u00fchl, schlie\u00dflich m\u00f6chte man seine Follower und Facebookfreunde nicht vergraulen. Aber ab und an \u00fcber Social Media auf aktuelle Geschehnisse aufmerksam zu machen oder gute Gedanken zu teilen, kann effektiv sein. Insbesondere dann nat\u00fcrlich, wenn man eine entsprechende Reichweite hat. Inspirieren lassen kannst du dich von vielen gro\u00dfartigen Seiten. Hier ein paar zur Auswahl:<\/span><\/p>\n Buntes Programm bei Pia: <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/piakraftfutter\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Bissige Kommentare zu aktuellen Themen: <\/span>https:\/\/graslutscher.de\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Vielleicht die besten veganen Comics: <\/span>http:\/\/vegansidekick.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Argumente abgefr\u00fchst\u00fcckt: <\/span>http:\/\/der-artgenosse.de\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n 5. Orgas unterst\u00fctzen. <\/b>Sei es durch Spenden, denn Geld ist Macht, oder durch aktive Teilnahme als Freiwillige\/r oder MitarbeiterIn. Zum Beispiel bei folgenden NGOs:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ariwa.org\/aktiv-werden\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/albert-schweitzer-stiftung.de\/helfen\/aktiv<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/animalequality.de\/wie-kann-ich-helfen\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.soko-tierschutz.org\/helfen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n 6. Vernetzen und weiterentwickeln.<\/b> Das geht \u00fcber Teilnahme an Gruppenaktivit\u00e4ten, Veranstaltungen wie vegane Brunches (zB von uns oder Animal Liberation Trier), Vortr\u00e4gen und Konferenzen. Besonder sei hier hingewiesen auf die International Animal Rights Conference, die einmal j\u00e4hrlich in Luxemburg stattfindet. 2020 im Onlineformat: <\/span>https:\/\/ar-conference.org\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gemeinsam sind wir stark!<\/span><\/p>\n \n by Co-Worker Sinah<\/p>\n Depending on your circle of friends and family, an increasingly vegan lifestyle will also expose you to certain interested questions, discussions or even provocations. Stay cool! Experience shows that it helps above all to be well informed and to keep a cool head. Then it can happen quite well that a part of the closer environment without deep discussions joins the vegan lifestyle with the time. 3. Remain sensitive<\/strong> to the recognition of conspiracy ideologies, right infiltration, esotericism and excessive health benefits. Living vegan is a very important step to stop participating in many injustices. It is accordingly however also quite passive. To work on the problems on social and political level it needs humans, who actively engage themselves for change. And often you just want to take things into your own hands as soon as you are sensitized for the topic. Just because the reasons for Veganismus are so versatile also various possibilities open themselves to become active after own interest. Animal rights, climate movement, human rights and nature conservation all profit from it in the end. Here a few suggestions:<\/p>\n 1. Street activism in Trier.<\/strong> The group Animal Liberation Trier http:\/\/al-trier.com\/ holds so-called Cubes in the city centre every Saturday. This is a peaceful and effective form of demonstration in which the participants stand in the pedestrian zone while videos from the animal industry are played and targeted discussions are held with interested parties. The group is also open to other forms of action. Wittlich Pig Save https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wittlichpigsave\/ carry out vigils, i.e. they document the delivery of pigs to the Wittlich slaughterhouse and give them some water if possible. Movements like Fridays for Future are also a good place to go. Basically, there are various forms of street action, ranging from talks to demonstrations to civil disobedience, all of which have their justification.<\/p>\n 2. Active at the university.<\/strong> In our department there is the possibility to promote the topic at the university and at the Studiwerk. Our cafeteria still has a lot of room for improvement with regard to the plant-based food supply, so that there are various ways to try to convince the Studiwerk. There is also the possibility to carry out forms of street activism at the university and thus to sensitize students. Some universities also have corresponding university groups or departments. Maybe an idea for Trier? 3. Multiply your own influence.<\/strong> That means: write eMails to the Studiwerk or to politicians and authorities and ask specifically for vegan products in the supermarket or restaurant. It is these small active actions that add up and bring criticism or suggestions to people and institutions with the power to change. Thus one can stimulate an exponential vegan growth quasi without much expenditure. And: constant drop hollows the stone.<\/p>\n 4. Online activism.<\/strong> Requires a sure instinct, after all, you don’t want to scare away your followers and Facebook friends. But occasionally using social media to draw attention to current events or share good thoughts can be effective. Especially if you have the appropriate reach, of course. You can be inspired by many great sites. Here are a few to choose from:<\/p>\n A colourful program at Pia: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/piakraftfutter\/<\/a><\/p>\n Biting comments on current topics: https:\/\/graslutscher.de\/<\/a><\/p>\n Perhaps the best vegan comics: http:\/\/vegansidekick.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Breakfast of arguments: http:\/\/der-artgenosse.de\/<\/a><\/p>\n 5. Support organisations<\/strong>. Be it through donations, because money is power, or through active participation as a volunteer or employee. For example with the following NGOs:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ariwa.org\/aktiv-werden\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/albert-schweitzer-stiftung.de\/helfen\/aktiv<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/animalequality.de\/wie-kann-ich-helfen\/<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Je nach Freundes- und Familienkreis wird man sich mit zunehmend veganem Lebensstil auch gewissen interessierten Fragen, Diskussionen oder auch Provokationen ausgesetzt sehen. Cool bleiben! Der Erfahrung nach hilft es vor allem, gut informiert zu sein und einen k\u00fchlen Kopf zu bewahren. Dann kann es durchaus passieren, dass ein Teil des engeren Umfelds sich ohne tiefgehende Diskussionen mit der Zeit dem veganen Lebensstil anschlie\u00dft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Active against injustice – and remain relaxed at the same time<\/h1>\n
Help, I’m an exotic?! Discussions<\/h3>\n
\n1. Be informed<\/strong>. There are many strong arguments for vegan living. Who has those in the head and it with a few numbers spicken can show that he means it seriously.
\n2. To be really informed!<\/strong> Unfortunately Veganism attracts many people and opinions that are unbelievable to dangerous.<\/p>\n
\n4. Ask questions without provoking<\/strong>. This helps in discussions to free oneself from the role of victim (He who asks, leads) and to encourage the other person to think. One should be careful not to strike an accusatory undertone.
\n5. Realise\u00a0when it is not the right time<\/strong>. If you just want to eat in peace or your counterpart is only looking for provocation anyway, then say clearly that you do not want to talk about this topic right now. Sometimes it is a wasted effort and does you no good. On the other hand, it is counterproductive to criticize others at the table.
\n6. Set an example and be inviting<\/strong>. Besides activism, this is the best way to get other people interested in veganism. Cooking together, having fun and simply staying consistent are particularly pleasant and sustainable for all involved.
\n7. Stay tuned<\/strong>. Sometimes it can be tedious to have the same discussions over and over again. At some point you get the idea that nothing will ever change anyway. Constant dripping wears the stone! Don’t give up, stand by your values and get support from like-minded people.<\/p>\nBecome active<\/h3>\n
