Artification of Public Space in Stuttgart
Stuttgart verfügt über 1.700 Hektar Verkehrsflächen im Stadtgebiet, zum Beispiel der Straße vor Deiner Türe oder der Parkplatz unter Deinem Fenster. Diese Flächen sind wertvolle und begrenzte Ressourcen in der begrenzten Topographie der Stadt und im aktuellen Mobilitätswandel. Als Geburtsort des Automobils und damit weltbekanntes Zentrum der Mobilität wollen wir zukünftigen Verkehrsräumen im Kontext der Klimaschutzstrategie eine wichtigere Rolle geben.


Alumni Project
Empowering our Next Generation
The alumni project aims to help facilitate the exchange of experience and information in the form of workshops and personal mentoring, provide students from the refugee community that have poor economic backgrounds exclusive insights into the world of careers and provide rolemodels that can guide them to make informed career decisions.
Stuttgarter Einkaufsfreunde
Supporting at risk groups during COVID-19
We support people at risk who are not able to go personally to the food banks due to the pandemic. Our volunteers go shopping or to the food banks for anyone who cannot go on their own during this situation. They make it possible that their fellow citizens continue to receive support and are able to secure their day to day needs. A small relief in difficult times.

Debating Project
Building confidence and soft skills
Together with the German Debating Society e.V., we enable students to gain job-relevant rhetoric skills as part of a debating group. Hence, we provide students with the opportunity to attend special training programs and debating classes in all schools as well as the possibility to take part in competitions on national and international levels.

Our Events

48h Forschungswerkstatt auf der Mobilitätswoche 2022
Vom 17.09. bis zum 18.09.2022 fand unsere 48h Forschungswerkstatt ARTUS, im Rahmen der Zweiten Stuttgarter Mobilitätswoche statt. Gemeinsam mit dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation IAO, fand man uns in der Hohe Str. 9-18. Trotz des regnerischen Wetters konnten wir uns über regen Besuch erfreuen. Gemeinsam sprachen wir über die aktuelle Nutzung von Verkehrsflächen in der Stadt Stuttgart, um daraus neue Ideen zur zukunftsorientierten Nutzung der Verkehrsflächen zu entwickeln und sammeln.

Davos Lab Dialogues 2021
The Davos lab was an initiative started by the Global Shapers community to initiate dialogue, action and change among the mobilize all interested citizens, stakeholders, and decision-makers around current societal topics. As Stuttgart Hub we hosted 2 dialogues as part of this initiative: The first one was centered around the topic of Systems change and how to achieve the EU Green Deal. The second dialogue was held on the topic of “Bridging the Digital Divide in Times of COVID-19".

Act for SDGs 2020
In the frame of the global week to #ACT4SDGs and the Park(ing) Day 2020 we organized an interactive SDG exhibition together with the Welthaus Stuttgart. Goal was to
introduce the UN Sustainable Development Goals,
collect ideas on what people would like to see more in public spaces in Stuttgart (other than parking spaces ;-))
to give people the opportunity to calculate and learn about easy steps to reduce their individual ecological footprint

Civil City Challenge 2020
Our Hub had the honour to curate and invite participants to the 2020 Civil City Challenge at the Morgenstadt Werkstatt - an innovation festival for cities and diverse actors to improve urban life.
The Civil City Challenge is a serious game in which we jointly reimagined and developed the future Rosensteinquartier area whilst moderating between diverse stakeholder perspectives and interests.

#EUnite
Green Hacks Adventscalendar
The #EUnite campaign unites European Shaper Hubs with a diverse set of initiatives on social, environmental and also artistic levels. The goal of this cross-hub initiative is to jointly celebrate and enhance the European spirit!
The Green Hacks advent calendar was a social media initiative where we as shapers prepared an Advents calendar with our favourite climate and sustainability hacks and encouraged the community to use these hacks and to share their experience on instagram after doing this challenge.The campaign also highlighted many local initiatives that contribute towards sustainability.

artus Innovation Challenge
Für die Klima- und Verkehrswende in Stuttgart gilt es nach Corona ein neues Verständnis und Begeisterung für den öffentlichen Raum zu schaffen und kein dogmatisches Entweder-Oder zwischen PKW und Umweltverbund. Die Zukunft liegt in der neuen Gestaltung von Verkehrsräumen, die die Verträglichkeit aller Verkehrsteilnehmer gewährleistet und nicht über Verbote, sondern über Motivation, Spaß und Empathie funktioniert. Wir laden Dich dazu ein, an der artus Innovation Challenge teilzunehmen und uns Deine Ideen mitzuteilen, wie wir den öffentlichen Raum in Stuttgart lebenswerter gestalten können. Die besten Ideen werden der Stadt in Form eines Ideenhandbuchs zur Verfügung gestellt. Skizziere dazu Deine Ideen auf die Vorderseite der Postkarte und lade anschließend ein Bild davon hoch.
