Zusammen Wirken | Erfahrungsraum-Workshopreihe 20./21.04.2026

In the organizer's words:

Once a quarter - Two intensive days - On site at Kreativlabor Munich - Lateral entry possible

With Matthias Steinke and Gerald Drahorad

When collaboration comes alive

Do you feel that we can't go on working together the way we do at the moment - but it's unclear how we can do it instead?

This is not a workshop about collaboration.

It's an experiential space in which you can experience how real cooperation comes into being - beyond the clichés of roles, meeting loops and well-intentioned methods.

For people who bear responsibility.
For people who no longer want to "function" but really want to be effective.
For people who want to feel, clarify and shape collaboration.

This workshop is for you if ...

• you want to get things moving with others - and realize how quickly things get stuck

• you work in teams, organizations or initiatives where tension, complexity or uncertainty are palpable

• you are looking for collaboration at eye level - not as an ideal, but as a lived practice

• you want fewer recipes and more clarity, attitude and orientation

What really happens here

You are not bombarded head-on.
You gain experience.

You experience

• how individuals become a community
• how decisions are made that are supported - not managed
• how conflicts lose their destructive power and become a resource
• how responsibility can be shared without evaporating

You will leave with concrete tools, new perspectives and the first actionable steps for your own working environment.
And with a different sense of what collaboration can be.

Why is there no fixed schedule?

Because what it's all about cannot be planned.

Collaboration is not created through agenda items, but through presence, relationship and the courage to face reality.
There is a clear methodological foundation - and at the same time space for what is there now:
real questions, real tensions, living processes.

The result is not off-the-peg concepts, but coherent, sustainable solutions that grow from experience.
