The sustainability sector is brimming with creative projects, innovative ideas, and inspiring initiatives. Yet it's not always easy to keep track of what a project aims to achieve, who it's meant to reach, how a group wants to grow together — or how to build the kinds of alliances that turn good intentions into real impact.
The Toolbook is for you! For changemakers in groups, projects, and networks working in the sustainability space. The materials inside support you in continuously developing your project, your organisation, and your alliances — towards a more sustainable and democratic society.
The Toolbook in English can be found here — please note that this is currently the fourth edition, which does not yet include the new chapter on alliance-building. The fully updated fifth edition, with its special focus on how to find the right partners and build strong, effective coalitions, is available in German. We hope to bring this newest edition to English soon!
The Toolbook is not here to add pressure — it's here to offer resources you can work with on your own terms, supporting you in reflecting on and developing the strategy of your project. You decide which materials you use, how, and when.
