Let´s Talk About Science!

As part of “Let’s Talk About Science!”, researchers and students from the University of Potsdam invite residents of Potsdam, Oranienburg, Hennigsdorf and Velten to join a discussion on fascinating scientific questions.

Under the theme “What kind of society do we want to live in?”, this public dialogue initiative focuses on democratic processes and our role in society. Which social issues are of greatest concern to the people of Brandenburg? What contribution can science make?

Join the discussion at the Big Democracy Action Day on 15 September at the Inselbühne in Potsdam

When: 15 September 2026, 2.00–6.30 pm
Where: Inselbühne Potsdam, Burgstraße, 14471 Potsdam

Look forward to a Science Slam featuring political and behavioural scientist Dr Christoph Abels, political scientist Lea Melissa Becker and trainee Latin teacher Leon Amelang. You can also look forward to the cabaret show ‘Demokratie ist schön’ (‘Democracy is Beautiful’), the new democracy exhibition by the Brandenburgischen Landeszentrale für politische Bildung, the ‘Desinfopoint’ run by the Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg, and exciting hands-on activities organised by Toleranten Brandenburg.
