Sprechen & Zuhören: Stimme + Ohr für die Demokratie

Offenbach (3)

In cooperation with the German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Offenbach e.V.) and the City of Offenbach's "Partnership for Democracy" department, Mehr Demokratie e.V. is bringing democratic culture to life in a practical way and strengthening constructive togetherness.

When dealing with socially relevant and at times controversial topics, widely differing perspectives often collide. As we attempt to persuade one another with arguments, we frequently drift apart, making it increasingly difficult to identify shared points of view. This is precisely where the dialogue format Speaking & Listening steps in. We invite citizens to moderated discussions where even controversial subjects can be addressed constructively. The aim is to build bridges between people with differing views and to enable a respectful approach to conflict and divisive issues.

The Topic for the Evening:

How do I feel about intergenerational fairness in our society? Social welfare systems, the environment and climate, mobility, wealth distribution, public finances, compulsory military service, and many other topics affect us all—but how fairly are burdens and opportunities distributed across generations?

The format relies on clear dialogue rules, mindful moderation, and a simple, well-structured process in small groups. Through timed speaking and listening, space is created to genuinely absorb needs, emotions, and diverse perspectives.
