About the volunteering opportunity
ABOUT THE VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITY
We are an early-stage initiative. We launched Wahlheymat on the International Day of Democracy on September 15, 2023. We are on a mission to create a Berlin where everyone can feel at home. Where everyone feels respected, heard and equal. Regardless of their passport of origin.
We are an early-stage initiative. We launched Wahlheymat on the International Day of Democracy on September 15, 2023. We are on a mission to create a Berlin where everyone can feel at home. Where everyone feels respected, heard and equal. Regardless of their passport of origin.
With more than a third of its citizens coming from 190 countries, Berlin is the true definition of tolerance, resilience and a variety of voices. The city of infinite possibilities, where walls have fallen, systems were broken and history was written. Our goal is to make the next chapter of her (hi)story as diverse and inclusive as its community – both native and newcomer.
We are looking for a web designer (WordPress/PHP) who can take care of our website and is open to being part of this journey and making it possible for everyone in Berlin to feel at home.
