Heimat(en) Dialog-Session - "Demokratie in HEIMAT-Zwischen-Räume(n)"

In an interactive dialog format, we examine the tension between individual inner worlds, social attributions and the responsibility that arises in this in-between.

Dialogue session - "Democracy in HEIMAT intermediate spaces" - communication between (he)inside, outside and the responsibility in between
In an interactive dialog format, we examine the field of tension between individual inner worlds, social attributions and the responsibility that arises in this in-between. Home is not understood as a static place, but as a dynamic space of communicative negotiation - between images of self and others, between belonging and exclusion, between visibility and invisibility.

Impulses from three perspectives open up the space:
Prof. Dr. Frederek Musall
Judaist, religious scholar and co-founder of the Jewish-Muslim Cultural Days Heidelberg. He opens up a space for thinking about democratic responsibility, cultural plurality and communication ethics in the field of tension between homeland, religion and memory.

Mergime Mahmutaj
Employee of the City of Stuttgart, responsible for the construction of the new House of Cultures. From her perspective, she reports on practical challenges, resources and findings from community-based participation work in a polyphonic urban society.

Vatan Ukaj
Democracy coach, facilitator and conflict trainer. With a focus on democratic communication and intersectional perspectives, he talks about approaches to communication in ambivalent realities: How is it possible to shape language and spaces in such a way that they enable democratic participation - and do not exclude it?

Procedure (modular):
- Three impulses of approx. 15 minutes each
- Interactive spatial positioning with the audience
- Moderated discussion round with the speakers
- Joint collection of ideas for communication spaces in the city that enable plurality

Target group:
Interested parties from urban society, culture, politics, administration, communities, education and remembrance work
