We are...

...curious.

We regard curiosity as a key to understanding and changing the
world. By asking questions in an interested way, it becomes
possible to take different positions and shed light on things from
different perspectives.

...participatory.

In ipsum people from all walks of life make their contributions.
They bring their perspectives and stories into a bigger picture and
enable exchange at eye level. All participants are being equally
seen, heard and felt.

...inclusive.

When people from different realities are empowered to participate
and strengthened in their ability to act, this creates durable,
positive change. In dealing with different biographies and
perspectives, we learn from one another.

...context oriented.

The project processes are planned with care, always keeping in
mind the specific context, that is, the living conditions and needs
of all persons involved.

...process oriented.

During the implementation of projects, the ipsum team always
remains observative and flexible to potentially alter the course
based on new insights.

...transparent.

We make processes, methods and results comprehensible on all
levels. Beside the successes, misunderstandings and errors are
also made the subject of discussion so that we can learn from
them together.

...sustainable.

We pay attention to fair pay for all individuals involved, as well as
to an economically and ecologically sound use of resources.
