ABOUT US
Who we are:
People who are interested in people and a peaceful, healthy and creative-living coexistence. That is why we focus on anthropology and co-creation and thus holistic and unifying approaches.
What we do:
Together, we explore how we can shape the future of cooperation, collaboration and of communal and global coexistence. To this end, we rely on applied anthropology and suitable formats for personal, social and organizational transformation processes that lead to social and cultural projects.
Why we do it:
It is important to us to work towards positive cultural change worldwide and to help us all maintain healthy relationships with each other and our environment.
This is also the way we can all get through the 21st century, which is characterized by great change, and into the 22nd century.
Especially in change management and transformation processes, the acquired understanding of and for cultures and the learned methodical immersion in different perspectives, as offered by cultural anthropology, offer a central advantage. We therefore advocate thinking about social and cultural anthropology and change management in business and society together.
​
With whom / for whom we do it:
Anthropologists from academia and practice as well as people interested in human diversity, social change and cross-cultural connections.
Managers in companies can use the podcast to recognize the potential of people with a degree in social and cultural anthropology and use it for their projects to open up new horizons in terms of cultural transformation management, expat management, opening up new markets, innovating new products and forms of organizational design.
How we do it:
In our podcast and blog, we specifically present social and cultural projects.
Interested parties can follow the progress here and make a financial or active contribution.
One example is the Hà Giang Orphan Project in North Vietnam.
We also offer direct events, training, seminars, coaching and workshops for personal, team and organizational development.
Creativity, painting, writing, critical thinking, discussion and co-creative togetherness - we are happy to offer and train all of these with you.
mission
igdra space wants to establish anthropology as a central discipline for the cultural change in the 21st century
1. Showing that and how anthropology contributes to positive social interaction to achieve across cultures, continents, social classes, age groups, industries, worldviews and identities:
Promote a change of perspective and understanding of human behavior.
​
2. Supporting people in their personal developmentand get them to carry the insights and skills they have gained into their (professional) everyday life and set positive impulses there so that the (working) world can develop in a healthier way for people and the environment:
Strengthen self-confidence, appreciation, resilience and communication skills.
​
3. Low-threshold support made possible. Donations from companies and private individuals flow directly into projects close to their hearts. The money arrives without the majority of the donations seeping away in the bureaucratic superstructure. Practical support that makes things happen.
​
​​Cultures are changeable. Let's actively help shape cultural change to the positive!
vision
As social beings, we humans depend on good and enriching relationships. Through good relationships with ourselves, our inner world and through practicing self-care, we can discover our potential and bring it into our communities and society.
​
This is the basis for building and maintaining positive relationships with our fellow human beings and other living beings and for creating a positive change in values and culture.
​
The world has not only been in a phase of strong transformation on all levels since the pandemic. This is perceived by most as a threat and plunges many people, industries and communities into crises of meaning and existence. At the same time, there is an enormous amount of untapped potential that can be used to deal with the various crises.
​
Social and cultural anthropology knows how to leverage this potential and these treasures.
​
The igdra space is a place where people get to know themselves and others better and learn from each other, with each other and for each other in exchange with others.
Strengthening creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communicating with oneself and others, and interpreting and understanding human behavior are both the path, the means, and the goal of igdra space.
