This year's program promises a diverse experience. During the festival, numerous musicians and artists will provide entertainment on stage. For the little guests there are creative workshops that include sustainable handicrafts and movement games in order to convey the principles of sustainability in a playful way. A special highlight is the common cooking campaign, in which delicious dishes are made from rescued food. This initiative shows how easy it can be to make a contribution to reducing food waste.

sustainability in focus

The thematic focus of the festival is on the 17 sustainability goals, the so-called Sustainable Development Goals. These commitments of the United Nations are integrated in various facets of the festival. From the vegetarian international cuisine, which minimizes ecological footprint, to the dispute of disposable dishes - everything is all about awareness formation and environmentally friendly action. The workshops offer visitors the opportunity to become active in upcycling and to develop innovative ideas on how everyone can make their everyday life more sustainable.

international friendships and common values ​​

The participation of the twin city of Eskişehir-Teepebaşı from Turkey, which was awarded for its commitment to sustainability this year, is particularly gratifying. This international cooperation underlines the importance of friendship and mutual understanding in an increasingly globalized world. Meeting and exchange with people from different cultures not only promote intercultural dialogue, but also create a feeling of community.

The importance of the festival for the neighborhood

The International Summer Festival is not only an event for music and culture, but also a platform that presents local initiatives and organizations that are committed to peaceful and common living together. The participation of numerous local actors, including the Akademie Rapsodia e.V. and the migration (invasion) S advisory board, shows how important the commitment is on site. There are opportunities to network, exchange ideas and actively participate in the design of your own neighborhood.
