kweercare soirée 

Care is not neutral. Is there a need for queer care services?

Panel Discussion & Listening Session

The kweercare soirée is part of an ongoing series of discussions on care as a social attitude. The starting point is the recognition that care is never neutral: it is shaped by norms, personal experiences, and structural power dynamics—and by who feels safe and who does not.

The evening brings together perspectives from the fields of caregiving, medicine, community work, and queer lived experience. The focus is on biographically oriented care work, psychological safety, and the importance of regional roots. The discussion will explore how care can be put into practice—beyond abstract ideals, well-meaning rhetoric, and supposed neutrality.

The kweercare soirée views care as a collective responsibility. It explores how structures must be designed to ensure that queer people experience access, protection, and recognition—both in everyday life and within professional care systems.

Among those participating is Michael Pereira, a pediatrician and founder of Safe to Grow. He brings perspectives from queer-sensitive care work with children and adolescents, and in 2025 became the first Swiss man to be crowned Mr. Gay Europe. 

After the discussion, the evening unfolds. A listening session, conversations, a sense of presence. A space for connection without expectations.
