There are many conglomerates!

What are we going to do?

As Konglomerat e.V., we are experimenting with our future by doing things ourselves in the open workshops and throughout the city of Dresden.

In doing so, we are establishing a culture of do-it-yourself in the spirit of DIT or DIY thinking, trying out practical approaches to sustainability and the circular economy and developing urban development for the common good from the bottom up.

Flirting - How to find your way in

Open workshops

The easiest way to get to know us and the open workshops: just drop by during opening hours! But before you go, make sure you check whether the open workshop is actually open. It is organized by wonderful volunteers.

Dates

Appointment to get to know each other

We explain how the association works and show you the #Rosenwerk - our base. This is where most of Konglomerat e.V.'s workshops are located.

But what do we actually do? What is possible here? What tools & workshops are there? How can you join in? How is everything organized? What are the ideas behind it? Is this something for me?

Answers to these and many other questions can be found once a month at #RW INTRO (~1h). Please write to us at intro@listen.konglomerat.org if you would like to take part.

Come along, whether you don't know us at all or already know us pretty well, whether you have a specific question or a more general interest.

The storytelling café in July
On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, it's that time again: from 9 to 11 a.m., the storytelling café opens its doors: a place for encounters, inspiration and togetherness.In a cozy atmosphere over a cup of coffee, people come together to discover books, share stories and exchange ideas. The meetings invite people to listen, contribute their own perspectives and engage with new points of view. Touching, honest and sometimes controversial- that's what makes the storytelling café so appealing.But the focus is not only on the spoken and written word. In the coming months, the storytelling café will also increasingly offer a space for a conscious approach to used things that still have value, whether material or non-material. This fits in perfectly with the spirit of the exchange: sharing, passing on, telling stories.Curious to find out more? Further information can be found on the website of the BüZe - Bürgerzentrum Dresden.Come along - to listen, join in the conversation and think ahead.We look forward to seeing you!

Colorful stalls
As part of the KuBiK program("Kulturelle Bildung in Kindertageseinrichtungen"), five colourful, imaginative booths were created together with the children from the 144th elementary school in Dresden. The children designed, sawed, hammered and built them together with great enthusiasm, creativity and craftsmanship.They were supported not only by dedicated teachers, but also by materials from Zündstoffe Materialvermittlung, which provides sustainable and creative materials. In this way, very special works of art were created from supposedly leftover material - each one as unique and colorful as the children themselves.The resulting booths now invite children to play, linger and marvel - a visible result of cultural education in everyday life.And the best thing is: it continues! More workshops will follow in September as part of the KuBiK program. We are already looking forward to new ideas, creative processes and exciting results!More informationAfter-school care center of the 144th elementary school DresdenKuBiK - Cultural education in day care centersIgniting materials
