Emergent Berlin 2021 A self-organised event series by and for local projects.

"RISING TO MEET
THE CRISES“

As we gradually emerge from the pandemic in Berlin, the climate catastrophe is knocking at our doorstep. We need to act with a sense of urgency. We invite fellow social-ecological projects and people who want to take action to reconnect, reflect on and share our collective and individual experiences and strategies. Where are we at? What can we learn from the pandemic? How can we step up to the evermore urgent climate and sustainability crises now? 

Six Months - Three Formats - Once a Week Every Tuesday night, from July to December
