We talk a lot about crises—the climate crisis, species extinction, social polarization, mental health, and the loss of social cohesion. Rarely do we ask what connects all these developments. Perhaps we are not just experiencing an ecological crisis. Perhaps we are also experiencing a crisis of relationships: with nature, with other people, and with ourselves.

With “Out of the Box,” we’re creating a space for encounters that rarely happen in everyday life. Each time, people who have never met before and whose worlds would not normally intersect come together. It’s not a talk show. It’s not a debate. It’s not a networking event. Instead, it’s a curious exploration of what emerges when different perspectives collide.

“Out of the Box” takes place monthly from September through December 2026 - more detailed information on the individual events will follow shortly.

“Out of the Box” is a series of events organized by the Netzwerk Naturwissen at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, funded by the Senate Department for Mobility, Transportation, Climate Protection, and the Environment.
