Social, healthy, committed: Spandau event for volunteers!
commitment and diversity: A review of the social festival in Spandau 2023
On September 14, 2023, a remarkable day took place on the market square of the old town of Spandau, which celebrated the community and the many opportunities for social engagement. The event, which was organized by the Spandau volunteer agency, focused on volunteering and united various organizations under the motto "The Social, Healthy and International Spandau".
This annual celebration not only offers a place to inform, but attach great importance to bringing people together. At around 60 stands and action areas, visitors were able to learn which social, health -related and integrative offers in the Spandau district exist. The commitment ranges from large institutions such as Amnesty International to local initiatives such as the future workshop of GFBM gGmbH.
The city of Spandau has a lively club and carrier scene that promotes the integration of citizens into social processes. District Mayor Frank Werwigt was pleased with the diversity that this event depicts. "It is an opportunity for the Spandauers to find out about the large number of offers and to get into conversation with the actors," said his words.
A special focus this year was on volunteering. The Spandau volunteer agency provided its own information point where interested parties not only advised, but also brought in contact with organizations who are looking for volunteers. The direct experience of the various social actions created a tangible connection between the offers and the citizens.
Prominent actors from a wide variety of areas were on site, including the health department, which offered a variety of health information and advice. This shows how big the commitment within the community is and what role this event plays in combining people.
Such events are not only important for the visibility of the offers, but also promote participation and understanding for social issues. The event is an expression of the coexistence and the diversity in Spandau, which offers a valuable resource for many people.
Rounded off with stimulating conversations and personal encounters, the day became a network meeting that demonstrated the strength of the community in an impressive way. We look forward to further events of this kind that further promote social engagement in Spandau.
