In the organizer's words:

Invest today, win tomorrow? Youth in Berlin | The Citizens' Talk with Anne Rabe, Steffen Krach and Elif Eralp
Tuesday, 14.10.2025 | 17:00-19:00 | Passionskirche, Kreuzberg

Every month for a year, Diakonie brings seemingly unsolvable problems of our urban society to the big stage in all districts. Together with top politicians, economists and social experts, bestselling author Anne Rabe and Tagesspiegel editor Lorenz Maroldt take turns to consider how things can move forward in youth welfare, inclusion, housing and construction, health and much more. The best thing is that all citizens have their say. Openly and honestly, with a common goal. Without politician-speak and catalogs of demands.

In Lichtenberg, they are looking at Berlin's youth: what investments in our young people are worthwhile? How can we effectively and sustainably support the rapidly growing group of 6 to 17-year-olds?

Guests: Steffen Krach (SPD top candidate), Elif Eralp (DIE LINKE top candidate), Dorothee Wetzler-Stöbe (Berliner Bürgerstiftung / entrepreneur), Michael Heinisch-Kirch (SozDia-Stiftung Berlin)
