Description

Franzi: I love creating moments of calm within all the movement - I am someone who cares deeply about creating spaces where people can feel safe, seen and able to be themselves. In different ways, this has become a kind of thread running through many parts of my life: I work as a social worker, where I try to support and create environments in which humans feel respected and heard. As a yoga teacher I try to create small moments of peace in a world that can often feel overwhelming.
In nightlife settings I work in awareness teams, helping to make clubs safer and more mindful spaces for everyone. And growing up as a scout shaped me a lot as well — it gave me a deep connection to nature, community, and the idea of looking out for one another. I enjoy holding space for people, creating moments of trust, calm, and connection. Coming from a big and fast-paced city, these moments of grounding and care feel especially meaningful to me, and I try to bring that spirit wherever I go.

Nemo: I’m curious about how people live together and how we can create fairer, more sustainable societies. I study social sciences, but I love stepping out of books and seeing ideas in practice. I’ve traveled and lived in different places, which made me fascinated by how communities organize life. I enjoy working in nature as a break from studying — it’s grounding, hands-on, and energizing. I’m active in activist groups, organizing protests and campaigns across Germany, connecting with people, and helping ideas for a better world take shape. I spent many years in the circus, which left me with a playful, flexible spirit I carry into everything I do.
