Running
Blackout
The first hours and days without power: light, water, warmth, news and your neighbours.
A steady Europe starts with prepared people.
We run hands-on evenings where people learn what to do when the power goes out, when rumours spread faster than facts, or when help takes longer to arrive. Starting in Munich and Hamburg.
What an evening covers
One topic per evening, two to three hours, practical from the first minute. Open evenings are for anyone, and we run the same evenings for your staff, residents, members or students.
From November
Rumours
How false stories spread in a crisis, and how to check before you share.
In preparation
Until help arrives
What to do in the first minutes after an accident, until the ambulance takes over. 112 first.
In preparation
Flooding
What to move, switch off and take when the water rises, and when to leave.
In preparation
Cyber security
Protect your accounts and devices, and cope when a service you rely on goes down.

Light up your city
Every city starts with a few people. Join the team in Munich or Hamburg, or start one where you live. You don't need to be an expert: we need people who organise, host, explain, design, translate, or simply show up.
