Lift Off is a series of dialogues, hosted from Michelberger’s courtyard in Berlin. We engage in discussions with people who offer an outlook, a way forward, by example and by knowledge. People who are reflective, confident and clear. Who are ready, have practices, ideas and solutions, ready to shape what comes next. Connecting and bridging people that offer lighthouses to their communities and beyond.
