Description
While the crisis of democracy is being discussed everywhere, the space in front of the Kreuzkirche becomes a vibrant version of the ancient Greek »Agora«: A meeting place for our urban society – for controversial discussion about freedom, equality and justice, for the collective experience of playing and music, for the understanding of how living together in a diverse world can succeed.
12:00–16:00: The Democracy Fair
Our democracy must not be sold at the fun fair, but why not confront what was proclaimed in Bonn 75 years ago with enjoyment for once? You can do just that at the Democracy Fair: At several »Stalls«, you can playfully learn a lot about Germany’s Basic Law, our democracy and the opportunities to get involved yourself. And we promise: There will be popcorn and hook-a-duck too!
