📅 12 November, 17:30
📍 Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek, PopUp Saal
What can Berlin learn from other places?
How can we involve citizens, innovate democratic practices, and make information more accessible so everyone can participate and truly understand how our society works?
Or, very simply: how to berlin?
💬 Join us for the next edition of WahlheYmat Talks, where we’ll explore these questions together.
We’re excited to welcome two inspiring guests:
✨ Rose Longhurst, who once moved to Berlin to lead the Democratic Renewal Team of the Open Society Foundations Europe Program
✨ Janek Gulbis, from Liquid Democracy.
🎙 Moderation: Marta Orosz (ZDF).
Our discussions are always interactive — we encourage everyone to share ideas and experiences from other places that could inspire new ways of living democracy in Berlin.
This edition of WahlheYmat Talks – Future of Democracy is part of Berlin Freedom Week, organized by VisitBerlin,
in cooperation with Zentral- und Landesbibliothek Berlin (ZLB).
