Democracy knows no age - We help shape it
In these times, it is important to take a stand. That's why GereNETZ - the regional gerontological network for Wiesbaden - is offering two intergenerational workshops on the topic of democracy on November 21 and 28.
In times when right-wing forces are becoming ever stronger and the exclusion of different groups of people is on the rise, it is more important than ever to stand up for a tolerant and diverse society.
In this intergenerational workshop, younger and older people come together to explore the topic of democracy. We discuss, shape, question - and learn from each other. Because each generation brings its own experiences, perspectives and ideas.
How do we want to live together? What values are important to us? How can we work together to counter exclusionary tendencies? And how can each and every one of us strengthen our democracy?
The aim of the workshop is to promote intergenerational exchange, break down prejudices and jointly develop ways of shaping a future together in which all people are treated with respect.
Based on the workshops, an exhibition is planned for the coming year.
