Our Story
Dreaming OPEnly e.V. is a youth-organization based in Leipzig, Germany, focused on offering developmental experiences based on non-formal learning approaches and mobility opportunities to young people in Germany and abroad.
Our mission is to facilitate transformative change through non-formal education, critical thinking and artistic expression. We dedicate ourselves to crafting innovative projects to promote awareness and disseminate values aligned with the socio-environmental transition we hope for. We are advocates of the role of individuals in bringing about social change which can lead to fairer and more sustainable societies.
We are convinced of the necessity of developing new learning methodologies which address the needs of the youngest generations using new and innovative languages present in the contemporary youth culture.
“The world citizen is a small leaf on the giant tree of life. They do not see a difference between the branch they were born on and the remaining branches on the tree, because they understand well that we are all connected to the same roots.”
Who we are
We aim at providing high-quality learning experience for young people using non-formal education and art in an international, constructive and compassionate environment. We want to contribute to a society that goes in the direction of deconstructing capitalist, patriarchal and anthropocentric paradigms. Our hopes and dreams encompass a world where art flourishes as the sparkle of personal and societal transformation.
“Our cultures teach us that in turning to each other, we become disruptive to old realities and hospitable to new ones.”
