Especially in today's world, there is a need for open spaces where people can come together in a relaxed environment to learn, grow, get in touch with others, work together, get involved, start and participate in initiatives, become self-employed, etc. All of this requires a prepared environment.

 

In a similar way to how Montessori education creates a relaxed environment in which the authentic needs of children are met at their respective developmental stages (whether sensorimotor, concrete operational, or formal operational), adults, who are required to learn throughout their lives more than ever, also need an environment in which they can pursue their own developmental needs. I want to create such a place with FreiRaum GEO.

The Vision

 

In the existing KreativQuartier in Gerolzhofen and Volkach (or in an alternative location), next to the existing coworking and meeting spaces for companies and non-profits, we want to offer attractive open spaces for individuals and initiatives - spaces for meetings, societal engagement, as well as personal and collective development and transformation. 

​

Lifelong learning and further development must become lived realities rather than buzzwords. This requires spaces and "hubs" where people can come together in a relaxed environment to grow, transform, and get involved.

 

For this purpose, I offer moderated evenings, seminars, and individual coaching, including regular meetings and incubators* for initiatives, founders, and entrepreneurs.  But there are also open spaces (FreiRäume) and times when you can simply drop by and meet people for interesting conversations.

 

*An incubator enables people to work on a concept (alone or in a team) over a longer time, whereby they are guided step by step through a supported process that takes them from the first idea to the concept creation and implementation. The exchange with others can also have a fructifying effect. At the end, there will be an opportunity to present the concepts to interested parties (including potential customers and investors).

 

In addition, an IDG hub is planned as part of the Inner Development Goals initiative. This is an international, non-profit movement that assumes that in order to achieve the UN sustainability goals (Agenda 2030), we must develop internally, both individually and collectively (or culturally).

 

Both a local or regional focus (GEO, Lower Franconia, or Franconia, where there is not yet a single IDG hub) and a content-related focus (such as education, learning, U-Lab, Social Impact Lab, New Work, community, etc.) are possible. Within the IDG hub, there are many opportunities for offers and collaboration with public actors, non-profit organizations, local and regional companies, initiatives, and individuals.
