Co-Creation
Welcome to the JOiN-Haus!

We decide together. Join in and help shape what happens next! Together with Schmetterlingshaus e.V., we’re turning JOiN into a shared living room — and we want you to fill it with life, ideas and questions. What should happen here? Which topics matter to you? Your ideas and your desire to co-create can flow straight into our artistic work.
