Trixiewiz e.V., a nonprofit organization, is committed to the goal of transferring knowledge across cultures.
Trixiewiz comes from the name “Trixie” (in reference to Trixie Belden, a curious, young female sleuth from a series of fictional detective novels) and the words “tricky,” “wizard,” and “wisdom.” This name (a portmanteau) denotes uncanny, magical female knowledge.
Our organization began in 2002 when a group of women from different cultural and professional backgrounds began to meet regularly. Out of these meetings came the idea of establishing an association committed to understanding different cultures and defining the points of tension within society. Trixiewiz e.V. works to create a space where open and counter-hegemonic dialogue is possible and where experiences from different countries, cultures, and work contexts can be productively exchanged.
