Politikfabrik
Politikfabrik (Political Factory) is a political agency from students for students. The project was developed at the Otto-Suhr-Institut at the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin). The main idea behind Politikfabrik is to provide students at universities with a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Students of political and communication studies develope internet-based political projects, for example the campaign "Wahl Gang" during the 2002 elections of the German Bundestag.
