Dialogue instead of a clash
The special feature of Speak & Listen: Everyone gets equal speaking time while others listen attentively. The format developed by Mehr Demokratie e. V. creates a hierarchy-free exchange where personal experiences, feelings, and perspectives are at the forefront. This often results in a unique event experience with surprising closeness and intense audience atmosphere.

A format with structure and impact
The event follows a clear process: introduction, discussion rounds in small groups, and a shared closing round. This event management ensures that even complex topics have a place in a protected framework. The focus is not on debate but on understanding, listening, and connection.
