Fit 4 Democracy

At March 20th 2025, a group of volunteers and full-time employees of the „Lokale Agenda“ and „ILEU“ were invited to visit the Radgasse 8 in Ulm.

Radgasse 8 is a key location for institutions dedicated to sustainable development and social engagement.

Various organizations based here focus on issues such as poverty alleviation, educational equity, social integration, environmentally friendly mobility, and ecological sustainability.

During the visit, participants gained insight into the diverse activities and initiatives taking place at Radgasse 8:

Kulturloge (Culture Lodge) provides people with low incomes access to cultural events.

The citizen agency ZEBRA strengthens civic engagement through initiatives such as reading projects for elementary school children.

The Flüchtlingsrat (Refugee Council) advocates for the rights of refugees and offers counseling and support.

„Engagiert in Ulm“ (engaged in Ulm), a local volunteer agency, connects individuals who wish to get involved with suitable projects while also assisting nonprofit organizations in finding volunteers.

Sustainable mobility is another focus at Radgasse 8: The General German Bicycle Club ADFC advocates for a bicycle-friendly infrastructure in Ulm and provides advice on cycling-related topics.

Additionally, Viva con Agua works to ensure global access to clean drinking water.

The visit to Radgasse 8 highlights the wide-ranging commitment to sustainable development and the significant role these institutions play in society.

The work being done here contributes to addressing social and ecological challenges on both a local and global scale.
