We are also dependent on your help for the scientific evaluation. Therefore, when you visit our test offer, there is also an anonymous, digital questionnaire that will be scientifically evaluated afterwards.
The project team is made up of various members who organize the evenings in alternating formations. We are also thankfully supported by volunteers who help organize the evenings. You can find more information about our project team here. Our offer should be as low-threshold as possible, so we intensiously do not make appointments.
