About Us

glokal e.V. is a Berlin-based association dedicated to education and counseling that challenges power structures. Since 2006, it has been active in political youth and adult education, as well as providing counseling to organizations, institutions, associations, groups, and initiatives. Through our work, we aim to raise awareness of global and internal societal power structures and empower people to help dismantle them.
