Power up! Das Demokratie-Festival

These are politically charged times. The questions are becoming ever more pressing. How do we want to live together? What can we achieve? What attitudes are needed? And what can we learn from one another? For one week, Oper and Schauspiel Köln will become an open laboratory for political participation, exchange and collective action. POWER UP! invites school classes, families and anyone interested to experience democracy together, engage in conversation and take action themselves. Around Offenbachplatz, a diverse programme awaits you, featuring performances, talks, readings, exhibitions, participatory art events, community music, simulation games and democracy workshops. Together with numerous partners from Cologne's civil society, we are creating these spaces. Get involved. Have your say. Shape the future. Let's power up!
