Katrin Göring-Eckardt: Deutschland, lass uns reden

In the organizer's words:

Katrin Göring-Eckardt explores the sore points of our country.

Heat pumps and gendernization; refugees and old white men; warmongers and pacifists, swearers and the woke culture: enemy stereotypes shape our debates. Where does the fear come from? Where does the anger come from? Are we at the end of our common ground or can we still discuss, listen and let others finish speaking, even if we don't agree with them? Katrin Göring-Eckardt wants to find out. On her journey through Germany, she meets different people - those who are satisfied, but also those who are disappointed, feel disadvantaged and see change as an imposition. Despite all the differences of opinion, are there still things we can agree on? To do so, we must first understand each other - and realize that others can also be right.

Katrin Göring-Eckardt, born in 1966 in Friedrichroda (Thuringia), is a politician for Alliance 90/The Greens. She was Vice President of the German Bundestag from 2005 to 2013 and again since 2021.
