Security Concept

This security concept is aimed at preventing and addressing security-related challenges at the Berlin Global Village (BGV). The goal is to ensure an open, inclusive, and safe environment for all users without imposing excessive control measures. Discrimination, unnecessary questioning, surveillance, or stereotyping based on appearance will not be tolerated.

The security concept strikes a balance between openness and safety. Targeted measures are implemented to increase the security level without creating a restrictive atmosphere. The combination of technical infrastructure, awareness, and proactive prevention ensures a sustainable security strategy. This concept and the standards outlined here are required for all individuals working at Berlin Global Village.

Notes from our conversation with Fixpunkt e.V. (Aug 2026)

In August 2026, following instances of substance use in and around the center, we invited representatives from Fixpunkt e.V. to our Jour Fixe to discuss concerns raised by members of the center community and answer questions. Here are the main takeaways:

  • Our center one-pager is a great resource that summarizes their advice and approach.
  • Fixpunkt e.V. will add Berlin Global Village and the surrounding premises to their daily route more frequently.
  • Note from BGV: There is a collection box for used syringes in the basement.
