What Is Amplifying Belonging?
Amplifying Belonging in Berlin is a community initiative by SINGA Berlin that empowers newcomers and long-time Berliners to co-create a more inclusive city.
From May to November 2025, participants will design and launch projects that activate public spaces, spark community gatherings, and offer peer-led trainings — all with one goal: to foster connection and belonging in Berlin. Amplifying Belonging is your opportunity to shape the city with your voice, your perspective, and your creativity.
