Demonstrating Democracy – Demonstrating (with) Drama!
Dialogue & Call for ACT.ION
What do you think about starting a courageous dialogue together with like-minded people, without shying away from emotionality or innovation? Respect should be our attitude today, in response to the polemical discourse that has become increasingly widespread in our society. Let us approach the issues of our time with mutual goodwill!
As a responsible citizen, you feel obliged to contribute your point of view to the current debate on social developments. As an educator, you listen to the concerns and questions of young people. As a human being, you have a strong desire to help your fellow human beings. Let’s start a process together that meets all these requirements!
How do we want to live?
Who decides what? And for whom?
What do we need to change? What do we hold on to?
What do we need to achieve?
