Urban Safari Berlin 2015

Do you want to explore inspiring spaces and meet interesting people?
Then Urban Safari Berlin is the thing!

Berlin is a vibrant metropole! The city is right now a melting pot of start-ups, young entrepreneurs, fresh ideas, inspiring atmospheres, cool exhibition venues, an innovative food scene and just amazing corners.

A perfect spot to explore, make you smile, think of (old and) new ideas, wonder about how funny & crazy some projects can be – and simply enjoy the love for new, small and bigger beautiful things.

Come join us on an intense 2day safari into this urban jungle! We have arranged a tour this spring, on 1 and 2 June 2015 – here we have put together a journey for you with special focus on inspiring new business, creative spaces and the co-working scene. (If the dates doesn’t fit you, special safaries can of course be arranged).

New Business as unusual

Lower East are strongly involved in NEW BUSINESS in Switzerland; a one year training for people who want to grow their project ideas into sustainable and inspiring businesses. We work with changels on the program, both as graphic designers and communicators – and as teachers/inspirators.

The full program starts up in September – a new intro module is coming up end of August. Dates 27-29 August.

Check it out if you are interested!

From the info-material: We at changels are strong in coaching entrepreneurs and their teams to sustainable and regenerative success. We have been running several leadership trainings and strategic development processes for companies and entrepreneurs in start-up and further development to reach new horizons. We have started the KaosPilots school for responsible entrepreneurs, creative leaders and change makers here in Switzerland, a three year full time education with an international focus.

For a while we have felt a strong desire to start up an intense one year program based on the best of the changels competencies and experiences and our learnings from the KaosPilot training.

We have been asked many times, whether we could offer a one year further training for entrepreneurs that is lighter than the 3 year KaosPilots training and focusing on people who already have a running business or are about to start up.

So here it is: the changels NEW BUSINESS, a mastery program for passionate entrepreneurs with existing and new projects and business dreams.

New visual identity – for New Business
Lower East just did another quick & d….. visual identity job. This time for a new master program, created by changels in Bern, Switzerland.

Maybe it could be a ‘thing’ for you? Info from the info papers:

NEW BUSINESS. A one year further training for people who want to grow their project ideas into sustainable and inspiring businesses.

We at changels are strong in coaching entrepreneurs and their teams to sustainable and regenerative success. We have been running several leadership trainings and strategic development processes for companies and entrepreneurs in start-up and further development to reach new horizons.

The newspaper ©lowereast

We are happy to show and share the changels news!
An idea for a newspaper we at Lower East came up with some months ago together with the people from changels. In the very last days before Christmas we finished the design of the newspaper and it was immediately sent of to the printer in Switzerland. Now the 32-page newspaper is living it’s own life, spreading info and good news from the changels universe in Bern & Switzerland & the rest of the world.

changels is a coaching and consultant company from Bern, Switzerland (and a Lower East partner), and to explain the paper we bring a short extract from the welcome word:

“… it is time to share some good news with you and the rest of the world. We enjoy working with companies, teams and communities as well as with individuals from all areas of life. And we co-create our own inspirations, too: Launching the KaosPilots Switzerland here in Bern in October 2012, now already with 2 teams of international students learning to become creative leaders, responsible entrepreneurs and changemakers. Or initiating our Innovationsdorf here in Bern, an innovation village to bring cross-sectorial know how together to create new solutions. Creating a network of sustainable schools and communities. Designing Urban Safaris in Berlin, Bern and Cape Town. And offering trainings to really create New Business that feels right for us humans and uplifting for this entire planet Earth.“

Helle Marietta and Jørgen Smidstrup have based their design company, Lower East, in Berlin since the end of 2011 and have been exploring the “arm, aber sexy“ city ever since. Matti Straub-Fischer, from changels, have after several visits insisted on creating an opportunity for others to dig into this diverse mix of creativity, design and playfulness. Together they organize and host the Urban Safari Berlin – first ones held in November ‘12 and again in April and May ‘13.

This is the deal:

Matti, Helle and Jørgen will be your scouts, hosts and the facilitators for the Urban Safari.

Together with Camillos Paladar, we will all put up a playful and inspiring dinner on Thursday night. Camillos Paladar is a pop-up (mostly in Copenhagen, Berlin and Bern) dinner concept with gorgeous food and remarkable wines. That alone is worth the journey. By chance, Mr. Camillo is similar to Mr. Smidstrup.

Are you ready for this adventure with us?

Urban Safari Berlin

In the beautiful November days 22 and 23 Lower East – in cooperation with changels – were the hosts of the first Urban Safari Berlin.

We had a wonderful and intense 2day safari on bikes in the urban Berlin jungle – among many other places we visited co-working spaces as Wostel, The Wye betahaus, and had a guided tour at the beautiful & charming Hüttenpalast (some of our guests stayed there in the caravans). A warm welcome at Gestalten – space, shop and publishing house. We checked out the inspiring Dennis Hopper – The Lost Album exhibition at Martin Gropius Bau and The Supalife Forever Show at Neurotitan.

There was time to watch films on topics as The Developing World and Creativity – and of course time to discuss, talk and share interesting stuff (mostly) within the areas of start up business, creativity, good ideas and inspiration.

Yes, you got it right! We didn’t forget to eat & drink. We visited good and cosy places such as Hüttenpalast, Markthalle Neun, N.O.R (Not Only Riesling) – and the group together created the most wonderful three course dinner under guidance of Camillo’s Paladar.

On the entire journey we were intensively followed by a group of penguins.

The Urban Safari Berlin #2 is planned to take place in April 2013.
