Facilitation
Facilitation means: shaping dialogue.
Contact me for your conferences, workshops, retreats and strategy days. Let us use classic and surprising formats to open up new perspectives and achieve high-quality results. As your moderator and facilitator, I will support you from conception to debriefing.
I provide lively, warm-hearted and effective support in building bridges between people – in German and English, on site and online, alone and in tandem. The aim is to move forward together in transformation through high-quality dialogue.
“With you, Marcus, one really has the feeling of being part of a larger whole.”
“The moderation of this event is fantastic.”
“Best moderation!!! :)”
“Marcus’ facilitation is well-founded in terms of content and very pleasant on an interpersonal level. Everything simply works with him.”
“We look back with enthusiasm on the workshop for solving challenges in our EU project.
Thank you for two really meaningful days.”

Managing risks
At the Bonn Symposium 2022 organised by the Development and Peace Foundation sef:, I moderated discussions on (climate) disaster prevention from a municipal perspective.
Representatives from Windhoek, the district of Ahrweiler and Euskirchen discussed risks, resilience and political options for action – a dialogue between the global South and North.
Fostering exchange
In 2025, I moderated the annual online conference of the Climate Adaptation Centre (ZKA) for the fourth time – combining technical depth with lively participation.
Over two days, 200–300 participants exchanged ideas on adaptation strategies, partly in an open space / barcamp format.
Uniting commitment
The ‘Future Conference 2022: Berlin Fair Change’ organised by the Fair Trade Action Alliance Berlin was a lively and wonderful experience – I had the privilege of moderating discussions on fair procurement, global responsibility and local implementation, and guiding participants through the market.
Tangible commitment, creative expression and humour made the conference a powerful catalyst for change.
Mobilising networks
I moderated two international annual conferences (‘CAIC’) of the Climate Alliance e.V. – in Rostock in 2019 and in Cascais, Portugal, in 2024.
The network connects European municipalities with indigenous communities in the Amazon. The aim is to effectively combine commitment, attitude and concrete climate policy.
Leveraging experience
In addition to the events mentioned already, I regularly accompany workshops, conferences and ‘future festivals’ on topics such as climate communication, mobility, sustainable finance, and urban and regional development.
I would be happy to provide you with further moderation references.
