We create spaces for all ways of being.
Glad you’re here. Most of this website is in German for now, so here is a short overview in English.
Colours of Being is currently being set up in Berlin and Potsdam. We create places where people have a point of contact for belonging and participation, and we help society understand and welcome being different. We started in February 2024 in Gothenburg, Sweden, where we ran a CommunityCafé every two weeks, developed workshops with local creatives and interviewed creatives for our podcast.
Our vision
A world where all people have their place in society. Where difference is met with curiosity and seen as an enrichment. Where public spaces — for socialising, creativity, and belonging — are inclusive towards all kinds of being, and where care for one another and the Earth in all its diversity is built into how we live together.
How would you like to take part?
CommunityCafé “Unmasked”
Creativity & connection for neurodivergent brains.
Unmasked will be a place for neuro-minorities and for anyone who is new in town and looking to connect. Everyone else is warmly welcome too. You don’t have to say, show or join anything. You can simply be there.
Status: in development. We’re looking for a venue in Potsdam/Berlin.
Get involved
Do you have a space, some time or an idea? Help us build Colours of Being. We’d love to hear from cafés, community centres and organisations that want to make inclusive formats possible.
