About

Our Founder

“We must change how we live. … Doing it alone is difficult. That is why I suggest creating Clubs, in which people can learn from each other and help one another to change their lives…”

OUR PARTNERS

We thank all our partners and supporters for the collaboration and contribution to making the Change Clubs initiative possible!

In May 2022, during the ‘Mitwirken‘ Crowdfunding contest, 290 donors contributed over €14,000 to our Change Clubs initiative. This support helped us secure 14th place out of 31, earning an additional €7,000 from the Hertie Foundation.

We thank the Hertie Foundation, the ‘Mitwirken’-Team and all the supporters of our 2022 Crowdfunding for laying the foundation for the Change Clubs movement!
