What we support
Topics
All topics related to community life are welcome in the project space. For example: neighbourhood, community spaces, cultural diversity, inclusion and accessibility, mentoring for mutual support, intergenerational projects and much more. Anyone who is interested and committed to strengthening community life is invited – be they a volunteer, administrative staff, involved in politics, arts or business, or an interested individual.
Project stage
The projects can be an idea on paper, they might be about to be launched or are already underway. However, all projects have one thing in common: they are future-oriented and bring together people from different walks of life and of different ages.

FAQ – Questions and answers
The project space is an event moderated by experienced teams on site that incorporates the perspectives of those in attendance. The project initiators present their idea and a moderated exchange enables different perspectives, ideas and approaches to be shared and developed. The events are based on learning and a supportive atmosphere. The aim is for the project initiators to advance "one step further" based on the feedback.
The offer is for people who care about community in their region. They have different roles and perspectives:
- Project organisers: people who want to implement a social, non-profit project at a local, regional or national level.
- Co-thinkers: people who want to contribute their perspectives to the ideas and plans of the project organisers.
Some project spaces specify certain content, others are very open-ended regarding subject matter. The aim of all projects is to strengthen community and a society fit for the future, i.e. to enable participation, promote diversity and offer participation opportunities. For example, this could be a project that connects generations, a project for urban or village development, a planned hands-on activity for biodiversity. The more diverse, the more exciting.
From the first specific idea outline to the evaluation of an initial implementation to the shared consideration of how a current project can be developed further: all stages of project development are welcome. A specific question helps further development in the project space.
Participation is free of charge. Login details should be received at least two weeks before the event so the moderation team can plan the event carefully. Anyone who is willing and able to invest time in strengthening community in their region is welcome.
