My Love Language? Politische Partizipation! Wahlrecht für Alle

In the organizer's words:

Admission from 6 pm
Start of movie: 18:30

What to do with love if we don't share it? On Valentine's Day, everything at WerkStadt revolves around the love of democracy: who is allowed to vote - and why not? What about young people's participation in elections? And how can more people be persuaded to use their vote and play an active role in shaping politics? Under the motto 'My Love Language? Political Participation!' we want to shed light on precisely these questions on February 14.

We will start with the short film 'Das Recht, Rechte zu haben' (2024, directed by Olga Gerstenberger, 30 min.). It is intended to inspire us to think about political participation and justice. The film highlights the struggles of refugee and non-refugee migrants, BIPoC, Rom*nja and Sint*izze for equal rights and belonging and formulates critical questions about citizenship, toleration and participation.

Afterwards, we get into conversation - open, honest and empowering, with exciting impulses from Milad Tabesch and Sanaz Azimipour. Milad Tabesch sensitizes young people to political issues, campaigns for political education and democratic participation and is committed to combating worries about the future and political dissatisfaction among young people. Sanaz Azimipour is an author, activist and political speaker with a focus on feminism, abolitionism and social struggles.

Afterwards, we invite all participants to join us for drinks and music with a DJ set by Shams to round off the evening.
