What new visions does

new visions e.V. is a Berlin-registered nonprofit arts and education collective (eingetragener Verein) that creates safer spaces and performative experiences to support equitable and inclusive practices. Founded in 2018 by Agnieszka Bułacik and Liene Jurgelāne after the founders met as facilitators in the GLEN global education program in 2014, the organization operates with a small core team of 3 board members and up to approximately 10 satellite collaborators across Europe (drawing on talent from Poland, Latvia, Denmark, Serbia, Germany, and the Netherlands). The collective serves art practitioners, culture makers, grassroots movements, change-makers, communities, and social justice organizations.

The organization delivers a portfolio of interconnected programs: TAIGA is the flagship leadership program for women working in arts and culture, rooted in feminist, cross-generational, social justice approaches and aimed at building an international network of social innovators; the School of Antiracist Practices (Szkoła Praktyk Antyrasistowskich) provides anti-racist education co-developed with Black Justice Poland; workshops and learning programs cover inclusive leadership and organizational justice; research and consultancy services support change roadmaps for organizations; and the Toolbox for Inclusive Organisations is a downloadable workbook resource. Content distribution is handled through a podcast (new visions for healing), an interview series (new visions in conversation), a bi-monthly Sendinblue newsletter, and active participation in panels, conferences, and festivals. Technology is incidental — the organization runs programs primarily through in-person facilitation and Zoom-based online sessions, with a Squarespace-hosted public website.

Business model relies on a mix of donations (one-time and monthly via Deutsche SkatBank transfer or PayPal), grants and fellowships (notably the 2019 Echoing Green fellowship that enabled the founders to commit full-time), and program fees from workshops, courses, and learning programs such as TAIGA. As a nonprofit without external equity investment, growth is constrained by grant cycles, donor support, and the bandwidth of the small core team rather than capital markets. Geographic reach spans Germany, Poland, the Baltic States (Latvia), and Scandinavia (Denmark), with documented clients including the Lithuanian Office of Equal Opportunities Ombudsperson and partner organizations such as Black Justice Poland, Alliance for Black Justice in Poland, Imagine 2020 Network, Festival Komēta, Kanepes Culture Centre, and Institut for (X).
