Engagement Labor

A place for engagement – the place of action at the winter festival

From idea to change

When I move, something moves. The festival motto “Now more than ever!” comes to life in the Engagement Lab in the Bazaar Tent. Audio installations tell us how we can shape the future; visitors can write a personal message on the wall to express what their hearts beat for. And small cogs set something big in motion.

At the Engagement Lab, Tollwood joins forces with associations and organizations – including Greenpeace Bavaria, the Munich Environmental Institute, Plant for the Planet, Munich is Colorful, UNICEF, youngcaritas Munich, 10drei e. V., and Ismaning stays colorful – to showcase the first steps on the path to social change. Through conversation, you can find the commitment that suits you best. Workshops generate ideas and partnerships. A laboratory for learning, experimenting, and finding inspiration. If we want to change something, every individual counts – now more than ever.
