A Format for Neighborhood, Planning, and Exchange

The event emphasizes participation instead of a frontal presentation. According to the event page, everyone is invited to participate. This makes the format exciting: The mix of information, target group engagement, and neighborhood thoughts creates an event experience that not only informs but also provides conversation material for the neighborhood. In a district like Dahlhausen, this approach fits particularly well because local solutions and short distances become immediately tangible.
