WHO WE WORK FOR
Society as target group – solidarity as goal
Radicalization, Racism, discrimination, and isolation are symptoms of an alienated society. We are talking less about humans but more and more of “bubbles” in which they live. We want to create connection and are constantly working on new formats of meeting, consultation, and participation. Here we have the expectation to possibly reach and in cooperate all people.
Our formats result out of action
Depending on the needs of our recipients, residents and participants of our work environments our focus and fields of work change into different forms of access when needed.
Therefore we incorporate collaborations and networks – from self-organized to institutional.
OUR VISION
We believe in solidarity trough encounter.
We wish for a society, which listens to each other, responds to each other, and together creates – and endures – change.
Society is always changing. So are we.
It is important for us that ALL humans can participate and strive to constant openness towards each other and to create opportunities for ALL.
Meeting is the key.
It can strengthen empathy and solidarity within the constant change and weaken radicalization, racism, alienation, and isolation.
Our APPROACH
Eye level
We encounter every human at eye level.
Our space is safe
We greet everybody, who comes to us, with an atmosphere of trust and safety. The individual situation and challenges of our recipient will be met with confidentiality.
Open and lively participation
To encourage self-initiative strengthens the confidence in the own power during challenges. We accompany in close collaboration and full transparency.
Nobody is left behind
Needs change – challenges can stay. We create our areas in a way that people who need our support, will certainly stay supported.
