Urban Transformation and Historical Contrast
Berlin is a city shaped by division, reinvention, and bold ideas. Its layered recent history—from World War II to the Cold War—intersects with contemporary conversations about memory, innovation, and urban transformation. In a place where the Berlin Wall once stood, repurposed buildings, collaborative art spaces, and bold street art now define entire neighborhoods. Berlin’s creative energy pulses through its public spaces, independent galleries, and political murals, making it a powerful place to explore how societies confront the past while shaping the future.
Atlas Workshops programs in Berlin explore the city’s role as both a site of remembrance and a leading hub of entrepreneurship in Europe. We can investigate how Germany navigates historical responsibility, how public space reflects shifting values, and how Berlin’s tech founders, urban planners, and artists are reimagining civic life. As a base for travel across Central Europe, Berlin offers a launching point for deeper conversations about sustainability, creative economies, and collective memory in a rapidly evolving region.
