goals and meaning of the festival

The neighborhood festival plays a central role in the integration and participation of people with a migration background. In Germany, a person with a migration background is someone who was not born with German citizenship himself or at least one parent. This group includes foreigners, naturalized, (late) emigrants and their children, as the Federal Statistical Office determines. People with a migration background bring valuable language and intercultural skills, but also face special challenges to achieve social participation.

The support from the Senate Department for Labor, Social Affairs, Equality, Integration, Diversity and Anti -Discrimination as well as the district budget are crucial for the implementation of such projects. The Integration of the Spandau district office takes on an important role in support and coordination.

importance of voluntary engagements

Voluntary commitment is an essential pillar for integration projects and is also strongly funded by the BAMF. An example of this is participation in events such as the Nuremberg Digital Festival, which takes place on July 4, 2025 under the topic of "Administration and Diversity". The focus is on equality, equal opportunities and inclusion. Such platforms offer space for the exchange of experiences and the discussion about the important role of diversity in society.

The commitment and activities at intercultural festivals and workshops show the tireless efforts for respectful cooperation. In times when social challenges increase, such events are of great importance for a harmonious living together.

Together, such a future will be designed in which diversity is valued and racism is actively opposed. The success of such initiatives depends largely on the commitment of everyone involved. The invitation to the intercultural neighborhood festival is a step in the right direction.
