Celebrate democracy: The Democratic Festival Spandau 2024 in September

Democratic festivals in Spandau: A celebration for diversity and community

September is all about democracy in Berlin. As part of the “Berlin Makes Democracy” campaign month, two important events take place in Spandau that aim to strengthen the sense of community and promote local citizen participation. On September 20 and 21, the democratic festival will increase, followed by the neighborhood festival in Münsinger Park on September 27th. These events not only offer entertainment, but also a platform for important social issues.

On the first day of the democratic festival, a specialist day begins with the topic of "participation and social division". Experts, such as the publicist Katharina Nocun, will talk about crucial topics such as right -wing extremism. Such discussions are particularly relevant because they raise awareness of social challenges and promote exchange. At the same time, there are workshops that are aimed at children and adolescents and address topics such as tolerance and fake news there. 

The second day of the festival becomes a hope that takes place from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Spandau district central library. All citizens are invited to celebrate and find out about various hands-on offers here. Numerous activities are offered for children, adolescents and families, including an escape room in which the participants learn to recognize fake news, and to design creative opportunities such as digital flyers.

The Kiezfest in Münsinger Park on September 27 will be a continuation of these celebrations by giving the opportunity to talk to each other and exchange ideas. With a wide range of activities, from sports to information stands, the festival will be a place where various organizations, including the youth welfare office of the Spandau youth welfare office, and local sports clubs, will come together to promote the community. 

Developments in the field of community engagement and public discussions are of growing importance. Tanja Franzke, district councilor for youth and health, emphasizes how important events like these are to set a sign of democracy and activate the population. "It is a wonderful opportunity to meet different people and to deal with important questions about a peaceful, respectful coexistence," she says.

The events are not only intended for active citizens; They are aimed at everyone who wants to become part of the democratic process. With free offers and translations in German sign language, an attempt is made to include as many people as possible and promote accessibility.

The partnerships for democracy, cooperation partner and the Spandau district office play an important role in organizing these events. Your support is not only crucial for planning, but also for the implementation of a successful citizen participation. By promoting the federal program "Live democracy!" It is ensured that these important activities are financially supported.
