Learning, creating, and participating: We create spaces for young people to engage in creative learning, diverse encounters, and new perspectives. Our seminars promote diversity, participation, and engagement. They foster problem-solving skills that engage the mind, heart, and hands.

Creative learning in workshops

Our workshops foster creative and solution-oriented action with head, heart, and hands. Whether photography, rap, theater, or programming: in small groups, you'll create your own works on socially relevant topics. Barrier-free access and diverse seminar formats invite you to explore new perspectives and develop your own projects in our key areas:

Learning in workshops

Seminar trips and holiday offers

As a school class, youth group, or individual, you'll experience political and cultural youth education with us, characterized by creativity and participation. Through seminars and holiday programs, you'll explore self-selected topics and artistic forms of expression. Our educational offerings are inclusive, practical, empowering, and promote participation.

Learning through international encounters

In our international workshops, you'll work creatively with peers from other countries. You'll exchange ideas and experience democratic action through active collaboration. The Erasmus+ program supports us in this endeavor. We work within European networks and, since 2019, have held the Council of Europe's "Quality Label for Youth Centres," which stands for human rights education.

Embrace diversity, break down barriers

Together with you, we break down barriers and create respectful spaces for collaborative learning. We promote diversity and inclusion. Our goal is an accessible learning environment that considers different life situations and needs. Everyone should be able to learn effectively and participate with us.

Strengthening children's and youth participation, in Berlin and in the EU

Participation is very important to us. Children's and youth parliaments and youth councils from Berlin's districts meet regularly at our center. We actively participate in the European Union's Youth Dialogue. For example, we invite politicians to discussions with young people. As a municipal project related to the Youth Dialogue, we are represented in the National Working Group.

Our programs are designed for general education and vocational schools of all types, from the second grade onwards: from primary school to upper secondary level. You can also participate as a cross-grade group. The goal is long-term collaboration through cooperation agreements to jointly promote school development and provide reliable support to schools.

For groups

We look forward to collaborating with your group of children, teenagers, and young adults aged 8 to 27, whom you support as an independent organization. Our goal is a reliable and long-term partnership. A cooperation agreement will provide the foundation for jointly shaping educational processes and sustainably empowering participants.

Our programs are aimed at young people living in Berlin or – depending on the program – throughout Germany. They usually take place during Berlin school holidays, on weekends, or on Berlin public holidays.
