About event
Power to the people? Of course! Active citizenship, community spirit – it's all the rage. People are ready for change and want to have a voice in the things that are important to them. The major challenges of our time require major solutions and we want to be part of them. We are increasingly achieving this together, off the beaten track, in innovative organizational forms, or on our own initiative – no longer on the sidelines, but in the middle of the playing field. From creating your own dream home together to testing our collective ability to share.
Meet the makers and doers who (together) take matters into their own hands to help the world move forward. We dive into new forms of organization, new forms of living, new forms of care and new nature. There are success stories and bumps in the road. We unravel how money influences our society, gain insight and tools to realize our ideals, we learn how an initiative is not taken over by capital and how nothing creates more!
