Cooperation. Interdisciplinarity. Networking.

Shaping the future together.

In addition to our own projects and programs, we support selected cooperation partners in implementing initiatives with social, ecological, and educational impact. We focus on initiatives that promote child and youth participation as well as democracy education.

As a non-profit organization, we are committed to sustainable, interdisciplinary, and cooperative approaches. The additional projects of Weitblick GmbH bring together all of these key areas.

Whether through creative formats for child and youth participation, intercultural dialogue among women, or practice-oriented initiatives in higher education – these projects actively contribute to future-oriented education and sustainability.

Together with our cooperation partners, we create spaces in which people can discover their capacity to act, explore what climate action means in practice, and strengthen their resilience. This is the foundation for positive societal change.

Children gather ideas for projects and initiatives, review them together with experts in the field and in intergenerational dialogues, and then take action.
