Together with Dresden’s scientific and cultural institutions, under the umbrella of DRESDEN-concept e. V. and the alliance #WOD Weltoffenes Dresden, we invite you to participate in the Festival of Democracy on May 25, 2024 on Dresden’s Altmarkt.
Together, we want to send a clear signal for democracy and our fundamental rights: The dignity of every human being is inviolable and the voices of minorities are heard. We take these things for granted, but they are increasingly under threat. We want to protect these fundamental values of our democratic and open society together. The freedom of science and art is fundamental for a society that wants to overcome the great challenges of our time.
Get involved with us for democracy! Starting at 2 p.m., several groups will move to the Altmarkt in four processions. There will be a stage program with speeches and musical contributions. We would like to facilitate encounters and discussions on the square with stands and various scientific and artistic exchange formats. Tell us about your experiences. Everyone is welcome to join us in working for democracy.
