Meet our superwomen!

Listen to the stories of Aya Jaff, the “wunderkind” of Germany's tech-scene, Ninia LaGrande, a physically small woman with a big sensibility, or Clärenore Stinnes, the first woman to drive around the world with a car! We introduce six figures everyone should have heard of!

We build bridges between culture, education and science and rely on the power of art, which poses questions and opens up new modes of access.

Worldwide, we enable cultural professionals to realize their work and to deal with new people and cultures.
