Interactive Debate

Climate change, wars, inflation: the younger generation is coming of age in a time of multiple crises. At the same time, society is experiencing a shift to the right, particularly noticeable in eastern Germany and among younger people. How do (young) East Germans view the future today? How do they perceive the current political climate in the country?

We want to explore what drives young people, along with their fears, ideas, and hopes. The discussion will also examine the relationships between different generations and their diverse perspectives on the present and future. We invite you to join an interactive debate where citizens will represent various viewpoints, discuss them, and work together to develop potential solutions. Experts will guide the conversation and provide scientific context, and the audience is encouraged to share their own thoughts and questions.

In cooperation with Wissenschaft kontrovers by Wissenschaft im Dialog, part of the Science Year 2024 – Freedom.
