§ 11 Anti-discrimination clause
Tanzfabrik Kreuzberg gUG rejects any form of discrimination and is committed to diversity and awareness in principle and in practice. To this end, we conduct workshops with employees and strive to create discrimination-sensitive spaces. We stand for respectful cooperation among colleagues, teachers, artists, students, and external employees and do not accept any kind of discrimination.
Discrimination occurs when a person is disadvantaged, devalued, or degraded, or desultory attributions are made to them, due to their gender, gender identity or gender expression, physical or mental disability, external (and/or alleged) cultural characteristics, name, ethnic origin, socio-economic origin, religion and belief, age, sexual orientation, or sexual identity. A statement or action is considered racist and/or discriminatory if the person affected feels discriminated against or offended by it and it falls within the definition of discrimination as laid out in this clause. People in Germany, regardless of their nationality, are protected from discrimination by the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and the Berlin State Anti-Discrimination Act (LADG). Everyone is entitled to actively defend themselves and others against discrimination.


§ 12 Severability clause

Should any part or provision of these general terms and conditions become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions.
