Our concept mitMensch is dedicated to the pressing problems of today's society: while globalization and technological progress are making our world ever faster and more complex, it is also becoming increasingly anonymous. Social cohesion is crumbling - community, responsibility and mutual help often seem to be in short supply. Especially in times of global crises, when issues such as climate change are becoming more and more present, greater social cohesion is of the utmost importance. After all, we cannot overcome these challenges alone.

Our Mission:

We facilitate social activities in communities and bring people together to take action. We strengthen the belief in the power of community and the importance of every individual and every contribution.

Why mitMensch?

Facilitating social activities is not a new invention. What sets mitMensch apart from other services are four aspects that create special incentives:

Personal development:

Engagement with mitMensch promotes personal and professional skills. Skills learned, such as organization and communication, can be certified and used for job applications.

Rewards:

In addition to the good feeling of helping, there are rewards – from discounts and free tickets to messages of thanks, for example from the mayor.

Reporting:

Media reports make the volunteering visible. Activities, Participants and Successes, activities and improvements are regularly shared via social media and local channels.

Community competition:

Communities compete for the title of “most social community”. Committed citizens collect points for their community, and the winners receive public recognition and financial support for social projects.

How it works:

The implementation of our concept is based on a network of different players who work together to promote social cohesion: Communities, clubs and facilities, companies and, of course, the people who get involved.

A digital app forms the core of our concept. It serves as a central communication and coordination platform that links all of those involved.

Personalized placement: When registering, the user goes through a playful quiz that records interests, skills and preferences. This is used to generate individual activity suggestions that are precisely tailored to the person.

Features:
 In addition to the activity overview, the app has chat functions, calendar integration and notifications. This makes it easy for people to exchange information about projects, coordinate appointments and stay informed about news in their community.

Gamification: A points system based on participation in social activities additionally motivates users to become active. Badges, rankings and rewards increase identification with the platform and promote friendly competition between communities.

Conclusion and outlook

MitMensch is a platform that does more than just facilitate social activities. It serves as a catalyst for the creation of a new social cohesion. The concept combines personal development, tangible and intangible rewards, reporting that generates acknowledgement and friendly competition between communities. It offers all citizens the opportunity to get to know each other, actively participate in shaping their immediate environment, learn from each other and bring about positive change together.

We are convinced that belief in the power of community, in which every person and every contribution counts, is the key to a more solidary future. mitMensch starts with the individual to strengthen this belief. With every activity, we take a step towards a better world, a togetherness that lasts.
