How can we improve the way we all live together and at the same time stand up more resolutely for (survival) on this planet? There are plenty of starting points for this: For one it is the path to a world without fossil fuels, for another it is exposing and curbing lobbyism in politics, for the next more empowerment through digitalization.
Many exciting and ambitious players and organizations are already on their way or are planning to do so - and we are accompanying them.
For a society based on solidarity and sustainability. To this end, we support actors from the civil society, political and cultural sectors in their work towards a more just and ecological society.
Years ago, one of the best typos in our history turned us into a "communications agency". Our communication works - because it moves.
We advise and support, we design and implement everything necessary for external and internal communication - from campaign and organizational websites to print products, group moderation, internal transformation processes and political election campaigns. What we can't do on our own, we do together with people from our growing network.
Communication that works needs more than just a brilliant idea. That's why we focus on cooperation and smart processes from day one of the project. Together with our clients, we clarify personal expectations, set common goals and define fixed roles. Then the way is really clear: for surprising ideas that make people think and take action.
The changes that we initiate and support with our work start with ourselves. That's why we use Wigwam as a laboratory for self-organized economic activity geared towards the common good. We shape things here as a team, make decisions together and constantly create new things.
Since 2016, we have all been employers and employees at the same time, because Wigwam is a cooperative! While the teams focus on working on the various projects, we structure internal tasks such as finances and personnel in working groups and elect the Management Board and Supervisory Board every year at our General Assembly. Democracy? Everyday life for us.
I maintain that the three aspects of production (or service), work culture and legal form can only be considered together in an organization. They are closely interlinked and mutually dependent. The attempts I often observe to influence work culture with New Work methods fall short and are often not desirable.
Since the introduction of the desired salary over four years ago, we have asked ourselves an endless number of questions. We have talked a lot about it among ourselves and with others. With this FAQ, we now want to provide all interested parties with answers to our desired salary in bite-sized portions and satisfy the initial hunger for questions.
Yes, we've done it! The cooperative has been founded. We have high hopes and see only advantages: no profit with shares, equal rights, shared risk, stability, responsibility and much more. With this foundation, the Wigwam should grow and continue to change.
Sometimes our ideas are unstoppable - and of course we can't always expect our partners to do the same. That's why Wigwam plants its own seedlings: experimental fields and playgrounds where we exchange ideas with interested people and organizations and take a critical look at industries, working methods and systemic processes.
reCampaign, Campaigning-Guide or our collaborations with so many exciting initiatives: we are constantly creating new spaces and inviting people to join in.
Surrounded by the 270° Wedding skyline, developers and artists, cleaners and strategists, activists and cooks come together. The Wigwam is not only the place we go to in the morning, but also the space that brings us all together.
