Donate

Together, not alone

Together with the association WeltKultur Bühne e. V. I am raising donations for tea hours, singing together and reminiscence work. The meetings are meant for older people who live alone or have little access to culture, especially people with dementia and people with a migration background. Donations cover materials, rooms, travel and fees so that the meetings can take place regularly.

Donate on betterplace.org

Donations are made via betterplace.org, a non-profit donation platform. The link opens their page.

Many projects begin in the association

As chair of WeltKultur Bühne e. V. Cologne I design and organise cultural and musical projects, from the women's choir to encounter programmes for older people.
