Statistical report

 

Since 1992, the federal association of sociocultural centres collects periodically data about its members´ situation and perspectives. In 2015 and for the third time already, the conception of this inquiry, which now includes an evaluation of the data, has been carried out in collaboration with Dr. Christoph Mager, chair of the Human Geography department in KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).
