A home for namosphaere
namosphaere goes Langstrasse
namosphaere GmbH
Zürich, CH
Project Overview
namosphaere needs your financial support to move to Langstrasse! With the prospect of this location, we have the opportunity to create a space that is more than just a cozy café with good music and soul food. We want to actively create change, organize lectures and evenings on socio-political topics, inform, set impulses, ask critical questions, and are not afraid of dialogue.

supported project
A unique opportunity has arisen for namosphaere to find a home on Langstrasse. The location is perfect, the timing a well-considered venture, and we are more motivated than ever to actively bring about (social) change with namosphaere.
For this, we need your financial support.
We don't have much time to raise the 32'000 CHF we need - and hope to inspire you with our vision and goals for namosphaere.
What exactly do you need the 32,000 CHF for?
- Parts of the deposit
- Parts of the commission
- Parts of the furniture
- Renovation work (for hiring an electrician and for the procurement of paint, floors, and and and... so that we can start energetically on 01.11.21 to make the premises comfortable)

Home is more than just walls that protect you from the outside world. Home is a place where you can feel safe, share your dreams and hopes and enact the preferred version of yourself.
We were both lucky enough to enjoy a good education, grow up in a safe home and supportive environment. And it was our experiences in life as women that taught us how fragile the feeling of safety can be.
Therefore, even though the timing was not perfect and our goals could be described as very daring, we could not remain silent and accept what was happening. And so we started to build the namosphaere.

A home for namosphaere would allow us to host the following events:
1. nam-impulse:
Small stage, big impact. At nam-impulse, exciting lectures on socially critical topics from the fields of education, politics, environment, law, to the natural sciences are organized. Experts from the fields of queer studies, criminal law, climate policy, and many more are invited to address current issues and to stimulate discussions.
2. namo-Ã -table!
This series of events creates a space for people from different cultures to meet and get to know each other in an unbiased way based on common interests. It forms a fusion of culinary arts and intercultural exchange.
3. na(h)momente
na(h)momente are informal and casual discussion groups in which topics of (mental) health, violence prevention, equality of marginalized groups, (...) find space. In a protected setting and a home-like place, one might feel comfortable to say exactly what seems impossible at home.
4. namoart
We invite experienced artists who will support the participants with advice and insider tips in their artistic creation process. Art can be an expression of the creator, can channel everyday impressions, thoughts, and feelings, and can also stand on its own.

namosphaere GmbH
Zürich, CH
We are a young, small, and social startup that has set big and ambitious goals. We started with a delivery and catering service, through which we donate 5% of our profit to social and environmentally friendly project partners in Zurich. After this first step, we are now in the process of putting the underlying goals of namosphaere into action: to create socio-political change. We believe in positive encouragement and that many small positive acts can make equally big things happen. Through our events, we want to open doors for all those who are interested in important discussions, who are seeking social change and a more just society. And who says that this is not possible in combination with a little bit of soul food?
Josseline Ross
Zürich, CH
founder
This is Josie. Born in Freiburg im Breisgau and raised in Namibia and Mexico. After a year of volunteering with people with mental and physical disabilities and completing her Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Anthropology at the University of Heidelberg, she moved to Switzerland. There she completed a double degree Master in Management in St. Gallen (CH) and Barcelona (ES). She wrote her Master thesis on business and human rights, with a focus on women's rights. Shortly after, she took up a PhD position at the University of Geneva and began researching the impact of artificial intelligence on human rights compliance in global value chains. She quickly realised that her need to act was growing and no longer left room to bury herself in books and theories with a clear conscience.
Julia Weldemann
Zürich, CH
founder
This is Julia. Her CV indicates that she is a true Freiburg native with South Korean blood (even though she is now moving to Zurich to dedicate her life to namosphaere). Through her European studies for bilingual primary education with a focus on English and geography at the Freiburg University of Education, she gained new perspectives on culture, interculturality, global contexts, and, above all, dealt with questions of inclusion and gender. By completing various internships, she grew the desire to become active beyond the walls of the classroom and to stand up for her ideals and values in order to enable all people to participate in society on an equal footing.
