Democracy Week
Democracy Week is a series of events in Passau where various organizations, initiatives, and institutions explore topics related to democracy, freedom, social responsibility, and social cohesion. During this period, numerous events take place throughout the city—such as discussions, workshops, exhibitions, and participatory activities. The goal is to encourage dialogue and make democracy a tangible part of everyday life.
The International Intergenerational Café
The International Intergenerational Café brings together international students and older residents of Passau. In a relaxed atmosphere, different generations and cultures meet, get to know one another, share experiences, and discuss topics from their daily lives and the world around them. This creates a space for intercultural dialogue, mutual learning, and social participation. It takes place once a month, on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. at the Haus der Generationen in Passau.
You must attend the project seminar “Interculturality and Practice” and, together with other students, design an interactive event in collaboration with participants from the Generation Café as part of Democracy Week.
