Tobias has been an organizer for over 15 years. He organized on several levels, starting from the ground in Berlin, Duisburg and Cologne, he has been leading campaigns on housing, education and children’s issues. He has built up two community organizations with leaders from diverse backgrounds. Working in the deprived areas of the cities helped him to understand to needs and powers of those left behind. In 2019, he took a leading position for one of the German organizing networks and developed its international networks. Working international has been one of the key aspects in his organizing and led to several exchanges and learning opportunities. He believes that these opportunities are fostered and expanded through ECON and its members.
ECON is a hub for the community organizing movement in Europe. We support organizers, groups and organizations to build collective power to respond to systemic injustices and emerging crises and create a just and democratic future for all
