About Kosmos

The image shows a cover with a central motif that may represent a book, magazine, or other publication. The colors and design are striking and appealing to attract the attention of viewers.

The foundation

The political upheavals of recent decades and the associated rapid social and economic changes have demanded a lot from people and have led to large segments of the citizenry resigning from public discourse.

These people must be brought back especially in times when populist movements are gaining influence with their seemingly simple solutions.

Now it's about continuing the debate on democratic values so that the open society has a future.

The idea

The prerequisite for tackling necessary and positive changes already lies dormant within the citizens. For how have they mastered the eventful history of their city, if not with ingenuity, improvisational skill, passion, imagination, and self-efficacy.

Breaking with habits is the central guiding theme: panels at a bus stop, basketball on an intersection, bands in retail stores, readings in laundromats, etc.

The KOSMOS team provides the platform and the infrastructure. The people from Chemnitz and Europe shape the content.
