About

When 35 asylum-seeking men found accommodation in the small municipality of Berndorf near Salzburg in January 2015, it began a time that enriched and brought the community together. Many small, implemented ideas quickly showed that successful cohabitation and integration that benefits everyone is possible.

The many requests from other municipalities gave rise to the vision of an "idea box": a platform that collects exactly these small ideas and makes them available to everyone who wants to enable positive cohabitation.

MISSION

Collect and share proven ideas for positive cohabitation
Concretely support municipalities, volunteers and mayors
Foster exchange between communities

WHY THE PROJECT WAS CREATED

Out of the "Berndorf model" and the many requests from other municipalities who wanted to know what makes cohabitation succeed – and the wish to pass on that knowledge.
