Nonetheless people were very productive. The meeting sometimes could be compared to an anthill. The rare opportunity to live together with a large group of international slackliners was seized and it did not take long for a workflow to develop.<\/p>\n<p>A number of groups treated different topics of interest, such as communication with authorities, actively performing roleplays while others focused on rigging safety and other topics. The daily routine also included going out to three slackline spots in Bern on bikes and enjoying the weather while interviewing passer-by\u2019s and discussing the safety and legal aspects of the spots.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_396\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/slacklineinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Two-on-rodeo-tagged.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-396\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-396\" src=\"https:\/\/slacklineinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Two-on-rodeo-tagged-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"Great things happen when energetic people come together for a good purpose. \" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slacklineinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Two-on-rodeo-tagged-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slacklineinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Two-on-rodeo-tagged.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Great things happen when energetic people come together for a good purpose. \u00a0Photo: Sarah Gmeiner.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The feedback gathered at the end of the week suggests most participants were able to take something back home with them from the event: be it motivation, knowledge, new approaches or insights into other slackline communities.

August trafen sich ungef\u00e4hr dreissig Slackliner aus der Schweiz, Deutschland, \u00d6sterreich, Grossbritannien und der Schweiz in Bern, um gemeinsam Empfehlungen f\u00fcr Zugang und Erhalt von \u00f6ffentlichen R\u00e4umen auszuarbeiten. Philipp Gesing (DE), Thomas Sp\u00f6ttl (AT), Charles Chater (UK) und Thomas Buckingham (CH) waren die Verantwortlichen der vier Delegationen.<\/p>\n<p>Das Event wurde von der CH Stiftung im Programm \u201cJugend in Aktion\u201d unterst\u00fctzt. Die Stiftung deckt Kosten f\u00fcr Reise, Verpflegung und Unterkunft damit junge Europ\u00e4er f\u00fcr verschiedene Zwecke zusammenkommen k\u00f6nnen. Mehr Infos hier.<\/p>\n<p>Lokal wurde das Meeting von Mitgliedern des Berner Slackline-Vereins SlackAttack organisiert, ein Mitglied von Swiss-Slackline, dem Schweizer Slackline-Verband. Konkret waren das Thomas Buckingham, Alexis Gonin, Benj Herren und Marc Thompson. Zus\u00e4tzlich er\u00f6ffnete das Meeting das darauffolgende Bern City Slack Festival. Hier trafen sich die Gr\u00fcndungsmitglieder der ISA (Swiss Slackline, Slackline-Verband \u00d6sterreich, Slackline US &amp; Slackline Deutschland) um die letzten Vorbereitungen vor der offiziellen Gr\u00fcndung anzugehen.<\/p>\n<p>Die Atmosph\u00e4re w\u00e4hrend des Events war sehr belebt, was nicht zuletzt auch am k\u00f6stlichen veganen Essen von Benj Herren und Alexis Gonin lag; nichtsdestotrotz waren die Teilnehmer sehr produktiv. Das Treiben glich des \u00f6fteren einem Ameisenhaufen. Die M\u00f6glichkeit mit einer Gruppe internationaler Slackliner zusammen zu leben und zu arbeiten wurde genutzt und es entwickelte sich schnell ein Workflow.<\/p>\n<p>Diverse Gruppen besch\u00e4ftigten sich mit verschiedenen Themen, wie \u00d6ffentliche- und Selbstwahrnehmung, auch Kommunikation untereinander und mit Beh\u00f6rden. Die t\u00e4gliche Routine beinhaltete auch Slacklinen bei verschiedenen Berner Spots, Passanten wurden mit Rollenspielen und Umfragen konfrontiert und in Diskussionen wurde nach L\u00f6sungen gesucht. Die Teilnehmer waren auf gemieteten Fahrr\u00e4dern unterwegs.<\/p>\n<p>Das Feedback nach der Woche war positiv und alle Teilnehmer konnten etwas von der Woche mitnehmen: Sei es Motivation, Wissen, neue Ans\u00e4tze, Einsichten in andere Kulturen und in Slackline-Szenen und vieles mehr. Das Meeting war ein Erfolg und wird hoffentlich in Zukunft \u00e4hnliche inspirieren.
