Although the project is still in the planning phase, the vision is clear: we want to create a place that embraces diversity, promotes community and offers a safe space for both people and animals.
An inclusive co-living place for all generations. Our aim is to create a place where old and young can live together and learn from each other. This multi-generational place should also be inclusive and welcome people with and without disabilities. The focus is on the queerness of the residents - at the same time, this place will also be open to others who identify with the values of openness, acceptance and community.
Inspiration is provided by projects such as the ‘„Lebensorte Vielfalt“ der Schwulenberatung Berlin’ (diversity living spaces) of the Berlin gay counselling service - but we are going one step further.
Community Hub. The place should not only serve the residents, but also have an impact on the surrounding community. We want to create a cultural oasis where people from outside are welcome. Whether cooking together, dancing, playing or caring for animals - regular events should provide space for encounters, dialogue and collaboration. In this way, the place will become a lively meeting place that promotes togetherness and counteracts isolation.
A sanctuary for animals. We are particularly keen to open this place up to animals that can no longer find a place elsewhere or have been rescued. As a sanctuary, it is intended to provide a safe home for animals, whether they are old or injured or have experienced violence and neglect.
The connection between humans and animals is an essential part of our concept. Animals give older people something to do and a new purpose in life. At the same time, younger residents and guests of the Community Hub can learn from this respectful interaction with people and animals. The place thus becomes a refuge for all living beings who are different, who find themselves outside traditional, heteronormative structures of their own free will or due to external circumstances or, in the case of animals, who are ‘no longer wanted’ elsewhere. The outsider element connects the human and animal residents and visitors.
Participate and create: The project is still in its infancy - but the vision is alive and well. We are looking for committed cooperation partners who are keen to develop this idea further with us. Whether with expertise, a network or drive: anyone who shares our values and wants to help create a place of diversity, encounter and refuge is welcome.
