The initiators

"I am GastfreunD"
An initiative by Bebiolka & Battke

Germany needs more hospitality.
That was certain to us, after we had traveled through Germany for the last two years presenting our project "What do we need to be happy? - Experiments and expertise for a substantial society". As "the Glücksucher" we talked to a great variety of people including many who originate from other nations. Our experiences caused a great deal of reflection: We met many extremely friendly people but others whom it was better to forget quickly. From our interviews we gathered a whole abundance of realisations that now flow into the initiative "I am Gastfreund" (= a good host).
