Radikale Töchter

The Radikalen Töchter are a collective active since 2019, dedicated to promoting political participation and artistic activism among youth and young adults. Founded by Cesy Leonard, an experienced action artist, and supported by a dedicated team, including Josephin Haardt, Christiane Deibel, Maria Magdalena Mitrovski, and Hannah Struck, the Radikalen Töchter aim to empower people to raise their voices and actively participate in societal processes.

• Workshops in Action Art and Artistic Activism: The Radikalen Töchter offer interactive and creative workshops focused on the core values of democratic coexistence and the ecological challenges of our time. These workshops teach approaches to action art to inspire participants to articulate their concerns and take action[1][2][5].
• Political Education and Personal Development: Moving away from traditional educational approaches, the workshops promote critical thinking, questioning of values, and the development of a well-founded stance. They contribute to personal development and strengthen the ability to cope with uncertainties and act self-motivated[2][3].

The main mission of the Radikalen Töchter is to empower people to transform their anger into courage and visions and to advocate for democracy, human rights, social justice, freedom, equality, and fraternity. They see themselves as "radically rebellious" and "radically democratic" and aim to question the status quo and bring about change at the root of problems[2][3][4].

• Ecological Challenges: The workshops of the Radikalen Töchter take into account the ecological challenges of our time and promote sustainable ways of thinking and acting.
• Social Participation: By empowering young people to engage socially, the Radikalen Töchter contribute to a stronger and more inclusive society.
• Feminist Activism: Some workshops are part of feminist activism series and specifically address issues such as racism, climate crisis, and political disillusionment[5].

The Radikalen Töchter work closely with schools, training companies, vocational schools, youth centers, cultural institutions, political initiatives, and businesses, primarily in Germany, but also in other countries such as Austria and Switzerland. Their methods are interdisciplinary, interactive, and creative, utilizing proven techniques from art, systemic coaching, management, and marketing to achieve their goals[1][2][4].

Through their work, the Radikalen Töchter aim to create a space where everyone can use their anger, be courageous, and participate, thus contributing to a more passionate and engaged society.
