Our Structure

Our organization, a registered non-profit association, operates with a unique structure in line with both the legal and organizational framework of registered associations in Germany and the concept of holocracy, also known as decentralised organisational models, which more or less flatten the team structure instead of stacking it in a traditional hierarchical form. Our association structure is divided into main functional areas: Governance, Administration, and Programs.
