There are many conglomerates!

What are we going to do?

As Konglomerat e.V., we are experimenting with our future by making things together 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, try our hand at The topic of sustainability & circular economy in a very practical way and make 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.

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.

Podcast

You can also take a look at the open workshops listen in. In three podcasts we tell the world of the conglomerate!
