Raul Krauthausen - activist

Description

Raul Krauthausen was born in Peru with a zest for action and grew up in Berlin. He studied Design Thinking, created a campaign for the Right Livelihood Award (Alternative Nobel Prize) and hosted a call-in radio show for people in crisis situations. Together with a group of friends he had the idea to create the nonprofit organization SOZIALHELDEN. The organisation, which is a social enterprise run by changemakers and creative activists, has reaped many prizes for its sustainable and innovative projects such as „Pfandtastisch helfen!“, which enables supermarket customers to donate bottle return receipts to social projects. At the moment Raúl and his team is focussing on the development of Wheelmap.org and its community, as well as on the expansion of Leidmedien.de. This online platform and workshop series for journalists strives to bring about a more balanced and non-discriminatory portrayal of people with disabilities in the media. In April 2013 Raúl was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany by the German President.
