Cuba, Colombia, Cape Verde – our first projects took us to fascinating parts of the world, often through our own involvement or alongside trusted people. A wonderful opportunity to realize our first professional productions and to support inspiring people with great visions and ideas. Find out more about our previous projects on this page.

Semillas de Amistad – agrarökologisch zusammenwachsen
Mass migration and food crisis – Cuba has been facing particularly serious problems since the Covid-19-Pandemic. With the new Food Sovereignty Law, Cuba wants to find a remedy and address the fundamental challenges of our time: a healthy and sufficient diet, the preservation of biodiversity and climate. To support this endeavour, a project between HNE Eberswalde and UNISS in Sancti Spiritus was implemented in 2023. A special encounter that leads to important places of the transformation process and from which we can all truly learn. The project has since evolved into the non-profit organization Seeds of Friendship e. V., which we continue to support. Watch the film (Spanish/German).
Visit to Boavista – Between tourism and species conservation
Today’s sea turtle species evolved about 110 million years ago in the early Cretaceous period. Of the total of seven species of sea turtles found worldwide, six species are classified as “vulnerable”, “endangered” or “threatened with extinction” on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) Red List (IUCN, 2022). On the Cape Verdean island of Boa Vista, several species conservation programs are trying to halt this trend. We got to know the work of one of the organizations (Turtle Foundation) behind it to find out how species conservation works here and to what extent tourism plays a role. Watch the film.
Wajiira – Ancestral Land Of the Wayuu
For more than 2000 years, the Wayuu have lived on the La Guajira peninsula in northern Colombia. But their current predicament presents perhaps the greatest test the Wayuu have faced throughout their history: Water is becoming scarcer, and the traditional life of the indigenous community is being threatened by climate change, coal mining, and the encroachment of Western culture. What unites the Wayuu people are demands for basic things: The right to clean water and a dignified life. In cooperation with the Fundación Apünaja and an ambitious team, “La Guajira” brings you the story of the Wayuu people and the fight for their way of life. Watch the film.
