Vision
The Tannenbusch House is a co-creative and inclusive space for idea development and joint action. It is our vision that all people, regardless of origin, age or gender, can have the opportunity to test and implement their own ideas and projects and shape our shared future. For this, we provide a safe and encouraging space.
Core Values
Since our project started in 2017, we have held over 500 public events and numerous projects geared towards sustainability, intercultural understanding, and empowerment. Examples of topics are urban gardening, storytelling, creative writing, upcycling, music, dance, DIY (Do It Yourself), education, and language learning, to mention but a few.
We have welcomed approximately 2,000 different people over the years, have more than 1,000 followers on Facebook, and are present in local media, providing a different perspective on Tannenbusch as a lively and multicultural neighborhood. However, the most significant impact is less tangible: The connections and friendships that form, the ideas that are developed, and the shift that happens within people. We often hear sentences like “it is the first time I am sharing this personal part of my story with somebody – and then even in public” and others shared that they can deeply relate to these experiences.
The global pandemic has put some of our plans on hold. We used the time to work on our concept of the SDG Action Space and are convinced that spaces such as the Tannenbusch House are needed more than ever.
On 1st May 2022, we celebrated our 5th anniversary. This celebration was also an opportunity to not only showcase our work over the past years but also to reopen the Tannenbusch house to the community.
