A space for respectful exchange
This is not about volume, but about perspectives. The event experience thrives on the unique atmosphere of a conversation where different viewpoints become visible on an equal footing. Anyone interested in democracy, participation, and societal debates will experience a format with clear structure, calm audience atmosphere, and real added value for their own view on current issues.

City library as an appropriate place for participation
The main branch of the city library Freiburg at Münsterplatz brings precisely what makes this format strong: an open house, good accessibility, and barrier-free access according to DIN 18040. On site, there is a ramp at the main entrance, automatically opening doors, a wheelchair-accessible elevator, and barrier-free sanitary facilities. For event planning, this is a clear advantage, especially for a target audience that values accessibility and a well-organized setting.

More democracy in direct conversation
Mehr Demokratie e.V. has stood for direct democracy, electoral reforms, and citizen participation for decades. The organization publishes annual reports on campaigns and successes and works in a pan-European and internationally connected manner. This lends authority and context to the format: here, no random concept is discussed, but an established participation format with a clear democratic claim.
