In times of increasing global and local challenges, small islands of innovative ideas are developing that counter these developments with other models of attitude and action. Such an island is created by the Kulturküche (our headquarter and the main project), a place that counteracts loneliness by connecting citizens in the neighborhood and enabling encounters on an equal footing. A place where crucial cogs of a desirable society, such as the development of democracy, civic participation, and sustainable use of resources, mesh together. Everyone is welcome to contribute within their own means - even if only as a hungry visitor to the lunch table.

Makers for Humanity (M4H) - formerly Positive Nett-Works e.V.’s mission is to apply the arts and innovative forms of communication for socio-cultural capacity building to address intercultural concerns in society. Activities support cultural youth projects to include the arts more prominently and create public awareness in the fields of environmental protection and social cohesion. By using games, activities&performances, and community dialogue processes participants are lead to find common ground and trust and enjoy shared activities. PNW organizes various forms of educational encounters, for example “cultural creative” salons, where youth, decision-makers, citizens, and artists meet for creative round table dialogues. The main objective here is to support dialogue, deliberation and peacemaking processes.
