One shared roof – three building blocks
NEXANIA is not a single construction project but a shared roof under which municipalities, educational institutions, associations, foundations and companies work together – while every partner keeps its own identity.
NEXANIA
Vision and roofConnects people and organisations across borders, languages, religions and generations.

Explained for children
The characters GREENY (environmental education) and Paxi, the foal of peace, make the topics easy to grasp for children and young people.

Trust is built through action
NEXANIA grew out of GREENDAYS4FUTURE, the initiative of the non-profit association Kreativteam e.V. Together with international guests, the initiative has already planted more than 25,000 trees. With the AufGEraucht campaign and the award-winning Earthworm Rescue Days, the association also shows locally that ideas turn into measurable results. This experience is the foundation of NEXANIA.
