Berlin says thank you: Dedicated celebrations celebrate the cohesion of the city!

On November 30, 2024, the "Berlin says thank you "'s action day in the Palais of the Berlin cultural brewery, in which around 150 committed Berliners and representatives from politics, media and culture came together. In his welcoming speech, the ruling mayor, Kai Wegner, praised the voluntary commitment, which is a main pillar of civil society. He emphasized how important it is in times of uncertainty to support each other. "Today we thank everyone who is involved in the diverse organizations and initiatives of the city," said Wegner.

This event, which celebrated its nine -year existence this year, offered the participants not only the opportunity to honor, but also for the discussion of the needs and challenges in volunteering. Cornelia Seibeld, President of the House of Representatives, emphasized that the volunteer citizens are often the political seismographer, who indicates urgent need for action. Cultural contributions such as an appearance of Jongleurs Timo Wopp ensured an entertaining atmosphere, while the Senator for Culture and Social Cohesion, Joe Chialo, moderated a stage discussion with various initiatives. In addition, Berlin offers a variety of cultural highlights that need to be discovered.

The event presented over 120 actions in which the voluntarily committed people were able to take part - from free tours to special discounts and free admission. The wide range of offers aims to offer the participants a small thank you for their valuable contribution to society. Human commitment, it shows the day of action, remains an essential part of social life in Berlin and will continue in the coming year. The citizens are invited to be there again in 2025 and to contribute their part to the living community in the capital.
