Kukutana e.V.
Kukutana is Swahili and means 'coming together'. We are here to bring people together across all differences. Whoever you are, come and join us! We connect the German+ community to all Germans. We have founded a Kindergarten, manage a Schrebergarten, offer Game Nights for parents and invite to Open Meetings in the Kulturenwerkstatt on Saturdays and Sundays. There are many more to come and we need you if you are interested to become involved. Find out more about us and our projects by looking through this website or contact us directly via Kukutana.
Kindergarten
Kukutana is founding the first Afro-German Kindergarten with an active parent association in Northern Germany. We offer an open-world concept that has been written by people who live it in their daily lives. Whoever you are you are an enrichment. Everybody brings their own experience and we accompany the kids while they develop their personalities as German+.
Schrebergarten
A Schrebergarten (community garden) is there to be shared and to be explored. It gives a space where our kindergarten kids learn about Nature and experience it, grow food and eat it together. Jointly with the Kinderhaus Schnecke we renovate the cabin, mow the lawn, plant berries and vegetables, and harvest tree-fruits with the kids. The adults in our community are at work with and for the kids.
Game Evenings
Playing board games with children builds their capacity to focus, to communicate, and to socialize. They learn these skills from the adults in their lives. We therefore offer game nights for parents and their friends as an opportunity to practice games before teaching their children. Playing board games with other adults means practicing social interactions across cultural differences.
Kulturenwerkstatt
The KulturenWerkstatt is the shared meeting space of KUKUTANA, KAYAKAYAO, Deichhamster, and many others. Every Sunday we open our doors from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m to the public for people to meet us or each other. We meet to make friends, to find support, to practice languages or simply to hang out. Just bring yourself, family, colleagues and friends. Drinks and Snacks are available.
