We are looking for new members of the Speaker’s Circle who are not representatives of the advocacy groups for the respective artistic disciplines, particularly those who are dedicated and work interdisciplinary, as articulated in the statement on our structure: https://www.koalition-der-freien-szene-berlin.de/struktur-der-koalition-der-freien-szene/
“The plenum has the opportunity to elect individuals from the independent arts community to serve in the Speaker’s Circle. Elections and calls for candidacies must be communicated by the Speaker’s Circle with a notice of at least 6 weeks. Suggestions for candidates from the independent arts community must be submitted to the Speaker’s Circle at least 3 weeks before the election and published by the Speaker’s Circle. Those candidates who receive more than half of the votes from the individuals attending the plenum will be elected. If there are more candidates than there are open positions, then those with the most votes will be elected. Speakers are elected for a term of two years and there are no term limits.
We will hold the elections at the winter plenum on February 13, 2024.
We ask everyone who would like to be a candidate to send a brief statement of motivation and a CV to infonoSpam@koalition-der-freien-szene-berlin.de by January 15, 2024. An overview of the candidates will be sent with the reminder for the plenum.
