When employees of MERKUR PRIVATBANK pick up brushes, brooms, and shovels, magical moments are created: During the Social Day at our KRASS House in Düsseldorf-Eller, the team of the renowned banking institution experienced first-hand how art and creativity enable valuable, low-threshold access to participation for children.
A day that changes things
“You get to know each other differently when you're holding a shovel,” one participant from MERKUR PRIVATBANK aptly put it. Instead of numbers and reports, the focus was on genuine encounters. The team tackled the task together with motivation and energy – and experienced firsthand how powerful, fulfilling, and enriching it is to work creatively with children, opening up new opportunities and possibilities for them in a place they can visit daily without an appointment, where they receive encouragement, appreciation, and support.
More than team building
The Social Day at KRASS e.V. raised the team's awareness of the challenges faced by children from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. At the same time, the staff bonded through working together for a good cause. This is team building with purpose, heart, and mind.
Thank you very much!
A big thank you to MERKUR PRIVATBANK and its dedicated employees for a day that was enriching for everyone involved! Their commitment shows that Corporate Social Responsibility is more than just a buzzword – it is a lived responsibility for the most vulnerable members of our society.

Social Day?
A Social Day is a day of action on which companies release their employees to participate in social projects together. Instead of sitting at their desks, participants spend the day providing practical support to non-profit organizations, associations, or initiatives. This not only creates visible results for the community but also fosters a strong sense of togetherness within the team.
If your company is also interested in a Social Day, we look forward to hearing from you. Contacting usTogether we can activate your team for a day of engagement and encounter with social projects.
