Self-empowerment

We encourage a community of self-empowered and self-determined people.

• Openki stands for self-organized and emancipatory learning, which is realized independent from institutions
• People from all social backgrounds should be self-determined in what they learn and experience mutual appreciation in their local community
• We are self-governed and contribute with our own interests, capacity and curiosity to the project

Change through cooperation

Trust

We commit to honesty and transparency as basis for mutual trust.
