Expats & Locals | Sunday Special Edition | Social Melting Pot 🧡

In the organizer's words:

🌈Lovediversity? Don't just say it - show up and be part of the change!

When we look back in a few years, what kind of Germany will we see? 🌍

A place where everyone feels welcome, where cultures connect, and where differences bring us together? Or one where doors close quietly and voices of unity are silenced?

This Sunday, on election day, we're gathering at Craftbeer Corner in Cologne to talk about it. Not as politicians. Not as experts. But as people who care. Because even if we don't all have a vote, we have a VOICE. And that matters🗣️✨

💬 Social Melting Pot is a space where diversity thrives-whereopen conversations happen with tolerance, empathy, and respect. A place where listening is as important as talking, where we learn from each other instead of pushing each other away.

But here's the thing-spaceslike this don't just happen. They exist because people show up. If we're not loud enough, if we don't engage, these diverse spaces may not be a reality in the future. Just look around-it's happening in other countries. We can't take it for granted!

🚨 And here's why this Sunday is extra special:

On Wednesday, March 5th, we won't be able to hold our usual multicultural event. Why? Because of the AFD conference at Gürzenich-just 50 meters from our beloved Craftbeer Corner-requiring extra security measures.

Both directly and indirectly, Social Melting Pot is affected by political events in Germany.

So let's make this Sunday count! Let's meet, talk and remind each other why a connected, diverse community is worth standing up for.

📍Where? Craftbeer Corner, Cologne
📆 When? Sunday, February 23 (election day) - From 5PM!
🧡 Why? Because the future is shaped by those who stand together.

Tag a friend, bring your thoughts and let's have the conversations that matter.

🌈Do you love diversity? Don't just say it - join in and be part of the change!

When we look back in a few years, what kind of Germany will we see? 🌍

One where everyone feels welcome, where cultures connect and differences bring us together? Or one in which the doors close quietly and the voices of solidarity fall silent?

On election Sunday, we're meeting at the Craftbeer Corner in Cologne to talk about it. Not as politicians. Not as experts. But as people who care. Because even if all of us who live here are not allowed to vote, we still have a VOICE. And the zählt🗣️✨

💬 Social Melting Pot is a place where diversity grows - where open conversations take place with tolerance, empathy and respect. A place where listening is just as important as talking, where we learn from each other instead of shutting each other out.

However, such places don't just exist. They exist because people perform there. If we are not loud enough, if we do not get involved, these spaces may not exist in the future. You just have to look - it's already happening in other countries. We must not take this for granted.

🚨 A nd that's why this Sunday is something very special:

On Wednesday, March 5, our weekly multicultural event is canceled. Why? Because of the AFD conference in the Gürzenich - just 50 meters away from our beloved Craftbeer Corner - which requires additional security measures.

So let's make the most of this Sunday! Let's come together, talk and remind each other why it's worth standing up for a connected, diverse community.

📍Where? Craftbeer Corner, Cologne
📆 When? Sunday, February 23 (election day) from 5pm
🧡 Why? Because the future is shaped by those who stand together.

Bring a friend, bring your thoughts and let's have the conversations that matter 🧡
