Goals
We want to change the society for a better future.
We create a New Neighborhood: more together, better for each other, less online, more offline.
We create a new form of living together in the neighborhood.
We share, swap and save resources.
We take the time to spend it together, because we know it is worth it. Because connection to others in real life is what makes us human.
What we do.
Neighborhood connecting events.
Neighbors sing for neighbors on their balconies, or living rooms.
Neighbors cook for neighbors in their homes, or on the side walk.
Neighbors swap books.
Neighbors share their stuff on backyard fleemarkets.
Neighbors donate for neighborhood projects.
And lots more. See all of them in our activity section.
We connect neighbors in local groups.
Parents: In Friedrichshain we have Parents Group that is meeting every monday.
Urban Garden: we have a Garden group in Friedrichshain, that is building a garden.
Knitting: our knitting group meets every second week.
Have a look here.
We take action!
We were part of the "Drachenretter" the dragon savoirs. We helped to save the dragon on the dragon playground by organizing events and gathering money.
So we came up with the idea of a neighborhood fund. Neighbors help neighbors to realize their projects and shape the place they live at.
We give signs to neighbors.
Just stick your Polly & Bob sticker "Neighbors welcome!" on your door or post box and neighbors know: they are welcome.
When you need something, look for the sticker.
We give the opportunity to organise the hood offline.
We are re-inventing the black board. Post what you need, what you offer, news, meetups and stuff.
You can order a black board for 30 € + transport at [email protected]
We create the opportunity to discover and connect with your neighborhood online.
We create a plattform, to find neighbors, goods, help, neighborly services, groups and events around you.
We create rooms to meet in the neighborhood.
Clubrooms: here we hold and organize events. A meetup point in the hood.
Sharing Shops: a place where we share stuff in the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Gardens: we plant, work and harvest together.
Organization
Polly & Bob is a non-profit social startup.Non Profit
We don't need profits, we rather put every dime into the neighborhood. Into the people who make all that happen. Into The rooms and spaces we want to build in the hoods. Into the development of the platform. Into our events and activities in the neighborhood. Into the growth to make it possible to join for as many people as possible.
In case we nevertheless generate surpluse we will give that back to the users according to their activity on the platform.
Participation: Board of neighbors
We want to let users participate as much as possible. We want to put the fate into the hands of the neighbors. Therefore we founded the Board of Neighbors. Here we will discuss decisions and vote on them. Each user will have have one vote.Imagine the user is invited to decide on the privacy terms or the business model? How would that change the known social platforms?
