And you would like to meet young people from different backgrounds and create together?


Then you should join the Future-Lab from June 30th to July 6th 2023 in Berlin.



What's it about?

  3. Change of society - alternatives of living together


You either develop a model project on one of the topics in groups of max. 10 people – be creative: there are no limits to your way of expression (e.g. a flash mob for peace / a construction plan for beehives in cities / The World-WG: A housing experiment / ... ). The FGYO will support you to realize your own project!
