WIR sind BUNT Netzwerkabend 2026

In the organizer's words:

To kick off the eleventh WIR sind BUNT youth culture week, Kulturhaus Schwanen invites you to the "Initiatives Open Mic" networking evening on Monday, February 9, 2025 from 6:30 pm.

On this evening, the stage belongs to the people who are committed to cohesion, participation and diversity in the region - whether in culture, sport, education, social work, integration or youth work.

From 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., the evening will be all about the exchange between the many initiatives, associations, institutions and volunteers who help shape the Rems-Murr district.

Under the motto "Clear the stage for commitment and networking", all participants will be given up to four minutes to introduce themselves and their work - briefly, lively and close to the questions:

Who are we - and what do we stand for? What drives us? What do we need in the network to further develop our work?
Afterwards, an open get-together invites you to get to know each other, think ahead and cooperate.

Get involved - open call for committed people

All civil society actors who are involved in any form of good cooperation are invited - whether in culture and education, social work and integration, environment and sustainability, sport or youth work.
In short: everyone who is committed to solidarity and togetherness.

Applications for the stage can be submitted via the online form:

Even those who do not have or do not want a stage slot are welcome to use the evening for discussions, exchange and inspiration.

If there are more applications than slots, the WIR sind BUNT team will put together as diverse a selection as possible - from established organizations to new initiatives and projects.

Why this is important

The networking evening is more than just a showcase for projects - it is a space in which the diversity of civil society involvement can be seen and experienced. It brings together people who take on responsibility in very different areas. The focus is on a common attitude: living diversity, shaping democracy, enabling participation.

The evening shows that commitment in our region has many faces. It shows how strong the network of those who take responsibility locally is - and that it is worth connecting these people and ideas.
