My Volunteer Work & Involvement
Volunteering is very important to me. I also want to contribute to society outside of my professional work. Accelerating the socio-ecological transformation is particularly close to my heart. To make my contribution, I am currently involved in the following organizations and networks:
Economy for the Common Good
I have been actively involved in the Economy for the Common Good movement since 2020. I am active in the local chapter Cologne/Bonn as well as in national working groups and projects.
The values of the Economy for the Common Good movement, human dignity, solidarity and justice, environmental sustainability, transparency and co-determination, are also part of my personal values and are reflected in my professional and private work.
Systems Innovation Network
I have been an active member of the Si Network since 2023. Systems Innovation is a new approach to innovation that seeks to address complex social and environmental challenges using holistic and innovation-driven approaches. The idea is to change the underlying structure of a system to enable a more transformative type of change – a systems change – than incremental "innovation as usual".
Inner Development Goals (IDGs)
I have been involved in the IDG Hub Cologne/Bonn since 2024. The IDGs (Inner Development Goals) are a framework for fostering personal and collective capacities to support the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They focus on the development of inner capacities such as mindfulness, critical thinking, empathy, collaboration and engagement.
