Between crisis mode and a spirit of renewal: where is democracy heading? The challenges facing
the political system in Germany to find the right answers in the future may never have been
greater. The Futurium the House of Futures in Berlin is focusing on the futures of democracy
in its new theme. It is about democracy in progress: what experiences do people in Germany have
with this democracy how do they advocate for participation and involvement what wishes and
desires do they have? For example we meet a city school spokesperson in Frankfurt Main a
blind musician in Berlin a former civil rights activist from East Germany in Leipzig a local
politician from Cameroon in a village near Munich and a young Muslim woman in Mönchengladbach
who is committed to diversity. A journey through the republic in ten encounters. From person to
person.
