Welcome to room for a non-profit initiative to unite people to empower sustainable
change in the form of monthly, social get-togethers.
With room for we want to create places of encounter, both online and physical,
to bring in as many different perspectives as possible and create an open community that encourages ongoing dialogue and learning from each other. We organise monthly get-togethers,
which can also be listened to afterwards as a podcast. We ask: "What can I do?"
This social format is inspired by the meetings known as "sobremesa" in Spanish, where sitting and being together creates conversation and exchange. For
this purpose, we invite two speakers who deal with various interdisciplinary aspects of sustainability and share their impulse for "What can I do?"
UPCOMING: OUR CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN
This year we have organized a sobremesa once a month. Evenings where we, together with you and two experts from different areas of sustainability, gathered around a long table and explored the question "What can we do?" over delicious tapas and drinks.
We are eager to continue and develop our concept and formats. Thanks to your positive feedback, we have valuable input to further think about our sobremesas and room for____ and to come up with more accessible content and possible answers for "What can we do?". For this we need your support.

Conversation, 03.12.2021, on why it is so hard to stay on top of things, why sometimes everything is much better than we think and why "picking up trash" is such a cool thing, with Fabienne Schovenberg and Hannah Pippert.
„WHAT CAN I DO?“ A COLLECTION OF CALLS TO ACTION
FABIENNE SCHOVENBERG,
„IST DIE WELT NOCH ZU RETTEN?“
“We will get nowhere if we bury our heads in the sand and feel that we are powerless to do anything. Trust that each and every one of us can do something about it.”
HANNAH PIPPERT,
OCLEAN
“When it comes to marketing, a lot of things in this green bubble have an eco look. I understand that it fits, but I realise that we reach more people if we make it a bit more colourful and bright.”
