How does the place of residence affect cohesion, common good and political orientation? - Denial factory 2025 invites you to discussion

listeners decide on the debate topic 2025 / audience project Denkfabrik starts online voting on Deutschlandradio.de

A new decade is imminent and with it many questions about the future of our society. Deutschlandradio gives the listeners the opportunity to actively participate in the design of the public discourse. The audience project Denkfabrik starts an online voting to determine the debate topic for 2025.

The idea behind the think tank is to research key issues of our time and to discuss with experts, politics and the audience at eye level. Due to the dialogue and the debate, we would like to promote a broad understanding of complex questions and develop solutions.

From now on, interested citizens can hand over their vote on Deutschlandradio.de and decide on the debate topic 2025. The vote runs until October 3. The topic with most votes is treated and researched in the programs of Deutschlandfunk, Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Deutschlandfunk Nova for a year.

The selection is between four exciting topics:

• The influence of place of residence and living conditions on social cohesion
• The meaning of usefulness in our society
• From complaining: How can we actively implement changes?
• Is the future conservative?

The think tank enables German citizens to express their opinion on these topics and to contribute to the social debate. The selected topic is not only discussed in the radio programs, but also on our social media channels and at public events. We attach great importance to a respectful and factual dialogue that allows different opinions.

The think tank is an audience project that has been carried out by Deutschlandradio since 2019. In this project we devote ourselves to the big questions of our time and promote the exchange with the listeners. The focus is on dialogue and debate so that we can find answers to the challenges of the future.

The current topic of the think tank is "It could be so beautiful ... How do we shape the future?", For which more than 44,200 people have already chosen online voting. Further information on the think tank can be found at Deutschlandradio.de/denkfabrik.

Now take part in the online voting and influence the discussion about the debate topic 2025. Your voice counts!
