You will ensure a positive atmosphere, maintain a structured conversation, and initiate topics important to the group. You will collaborate with a specialist in community work.

- neighborhood picnics, neighborhood Saturdays and joint activities (e.g. cleaning, planting greenery, ecological workshops),
