Incredible but true: On 11.June 2026we are already celebrating our10th community event against hate on the internet!

Under the motto “Come together, right now – solidarity in difficult times”we would like to share experiences with you, identify challenges and develop common perspectives.We want to get out of our powerlessness and take concrete action together!Together we want to counteract social polarization and the feeling of powerlessness: exchange, solidarity and concrete action.

The battle for sovereignty online is getting tougher.Disinformation is spreading more rapidly, while at the same time the willingness to support civil society projects that oppose hatred and incitement is decreasing.Many of us experience this time as a phase of setbacks, uncertainty and frustration.Doubts, worries and fears grow and it can feel isolating.But we say clearly: we are not alone.And we are not powerless!

At the anniversary event on 11.June 2026 we will address the question of how cooperation and cohesion can be strengthened in challenging times.The community event is moderated by the wonderful Isabelle Dikumbi.Coming from the field of political education, her focus today is on body work and empowerment for different actors and communities.

In interactive exchange and dialogue formats in which we create space for honest exchange and venting frustration, we would like to find our way back into action together with you.We want to celebrate successes, strengthen community and draw new energy.Because when hate becomes loud online, we need spaces that strengthen instead of divide.Places where we network, share experiences and develop strategies together.Our community event against hate on the internet brings together exactly that: people, ideas and the courage to act.

Workshops, inputs, open spaces and more await you.Of course, we'll also be toasting ten years of the Community Event together: to everything we've already achieved and to what's still to come.Get out of your powerlessness and into concrete action!

Let's immerse ourselves together instead of drowning - in exchange, solidarity and real connection.You can find out more information about the program etc. on our website, in our newsletter or on our social media channels Instagram, LinkedIn or Threads.
