Froh! e.V.
is a non-profit association that has made its goal to stir the processes of social formation and develop journalistic formats that open discourses about human values.
The association launched as a »magazine for the good society« in 2008 and since then has readers all over Europe. Since 2013, the editorial and design work has developed into the workshop series »Publish Yourself!«, which supports young designers and publicists in making their message accessible to the public. These workshops, which take place primarily in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Germany, produce print and online publications as well as immersive exhibitions.
