We want to kick racism off the pitch together!”

The organization is committed to sustainability of urban development involving all people living and visiting Konstanz.

The Café Mondial offers open invitation for counseling, discussion and other events, music, dance, cooking and having coffee, tea, juice and cake as a community of people.

Part of the concept is to offer other initiatives a roof among other things.

Free rooms are provided for voluntary groups such as Fridays for Future, the local Refugee Law Clinic, Adtendo, the ‘Project 83 – Konstanz integrated’, which was awarded the German Citizens’ Prize, and the Local groups provided by Amnesty International, Foodsharing, SoLawi Konstanz and many more.

The atmosphere in the Café Mondial is characterized by the possibility of informal and unprejudiced exchange, which comes about all by itself here.
