Map of Hope

The German Robert-Koch-Institut, the Johns Hopkins Institute and many other organizations are doing vitally important work, including monitoring infection rates. Live tickers give regular news updates.

We want to document something else: hope. This map shows how HopeLit is helping to spark a wave of Hope across Germany and beyond. We want the little dandelion umbrellas on our logo to fly far and wide; to bring joy, laughter and magical moments into children’s bedrooms and playrooms as well as hope into the hearts of grown-ups.

So spread the word. Keep the little umbrellas flying, so that our map will quickly go beyond Germany and Austria. We’ve reached Greece, already. Thanks to Mandy, who created this website and travels Europe in her caravan home.
