About us
We, the association “gemeinsam zusammen e.V.,” are committed to promoting sustainability and social issues related to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Above all, we aim to bring people together, educate them in an engaging way, and tackle challenging topics. BUT, our goal is to do this without lecturing and in a positive, joyful atmosphere.
Activities:
• Lectures on food and resource waste
• Upcycling market with music and a contest
• Sustainability market with a jazz festival or, for example, with the project
• “The Forgotten. A City Takes Notice,” an overarching concept centered on the topic of migration and its causes, where we aim to make a statement together with as many people as possible.
Projects:
• Winner of the Social Design Award 2023
• SDG – Supertolle Dynamische Gesellschaft (Super-Great Dynamic Society) – The sustainability market on Food Waste Day on May 2, 2023, featuring talks on the topic and group singing for the freedom of Iranian women.
• “Everything Matters.” Bestselling author Dr. Umes reads: “Basic Color: German. Why I Go Where the Racists Are,” an event featuring a reading, photo contest, and live music.
• The Forgotten: This is a concept centered on the theme of displacement and, above all, children in crisis zones. It is based on an exhibition featuring photographs by the renowned photographer, author, and aid worker Alea Horst.
• Good Vibes – SDG Market in Diez with a jazz festival
• Project in the Ahr Valley with traumatized children
• Upcycling market with a contest
• Exhibition “The Forgotten. A City Takes Notice” 2021 in Diez, featuring a replica of Camp Moria, empty storefront displays on the theme of “Children in Need,” and two exhibitions on the themes of displacement and “Care, Life, Death”
• Visit to a nursing home with music to encourage staff and residents after they had to witness countless COVID-19 victims
• Quiet Hour: Our current core theme is inclusion. With this project, we aim to help people on the autism spectrum and those who suffer from sensory overload experience simpler participation in daily life once a week. The “Quiet Hour” originated in New Zealand and involves businesses and society working together to minimize stimuli for a short period, e.g.: Reduce lighting as much as possible; No announcements; No music; No loud (cell phone) conversations; No screens
Upon request, we can provide consulting services for other network participants, give a presentation, and share up-to-date technical information and contacts in our field of work.
