The first discussions about this project happened during the Zapatista Gira por la Vida in 2021. January 2022 marked the beginning of our collective. We are a constantly evolving group, whose members come from different political struggles, ranging from environmental topics to decolonial struggles and from queer-feminist fights to the campaigns for Freedom of Movement. Some of us have been working on ships professionally for years, others have little sailing experience.

In October 2022 we founded the association Bildung und Solidarität e.V (Education and Solidarity), which was recognized as a non-profit organization in January 2023. All our members are volunteers. Our statutes can be found here in German and in English (non-binding translation).

We have chosen the path of networking and organizing with other activists from many parts of the world right from the start. Therefore most of our meetings are online. Please contact us if you want to join.

Although most of us come from a European background, we are trying to build an organisation shaped by the different perspectives of all – one that is not limited to a Eurocentric perspective.
