Project Workshop
You Got This!
Project Development AfroPolitan Berlin
You Got This! offers project development for projects, ideas and initiatives by Black, African and Afrodiasporic people by providing content and conceptual support for their step-by-step development and realisation.
Applications for 2024 are now open until 24.04.2024.
WHAT?
You have an idea for a project, but you don’t know how to tackle it concretely? Or you are already in the middle of implementing a vision, but you still need some input on what the next steps could be? AfroPolitan Berlin will help you to turn your ideas into reality through our project workshop! We’ll pick you up from where you are right this moment and help you with the further development as well as conceptualisation and implementation.
For example:
- Podcast
- Book Club
- Video-Channel/-Production
- Network-/Exchange-/Online-Platform
- Community-Project
- New Product or Service
- Facilitational or Educational Project
- Band-/Art-Project
- Dance-/Sports-Class
- Whatever your heart desires!
FOR WHOM?
- Black, African and Afrodiasporic people in Berlin.
- The projects themselves do not have to be geared towards a specific target group (but of course they may be).
- Individuals as well as group projects can apply; in the case of groups, the majority of the members should be Black, African or Afrodiasporic, or at least the leadership of the project who would take part in the support programme.
