Successful premiere: Volunteer exchange in Reinickendorf inspires over 500 visitors
The first volunteer exchange in Reinickendorf on May 30th was a complete success, despite temporary heavy rain, which forced some exhibitors to lay their stands from the outdoors into the interior. Over 500 interested visitors found their way into the foyer of the Ernst Reuter-Saal to find out about volunteering with almost 100 exhibitors.
The panel talks on the topics of loneliness and commitment as reading, math and language sponsors in Reinickendorf, which was moderated by the district officer of the district, Katharina Schulz, attracted great attention and met with great interest among the visitors. These discussions illustrated the importance of voluntary engagement in society.
Mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner (CDU) was enthusiastic about the positive response of the event. She emphasized the importance and value of the volunteer in society and particularly praised the diversity of the offers on the volunteer exchange. Smaller organizations had the opportunity to present themselves and win new volunteers, which, according to the mayor, is a significant step towards strengthening social interaction in Reinickendorf.
Overall, the volunteer exchange was a successful event that strengthened the awareness of volunteering and encouraged the citizens to actively contribute to their community.
