In the organizer's words:

Meet & Read

19:00 Admission

19:15 Welcome

19:30 Start of reading (please join us)

We cordially invite you to the political-literary benefit series with authors from the region! A very special reading awaits you here, where you can not only listen passively, but actively participate. Come along and experience how literature and politics come together in an exciting way!

What happens when literature doesn't just tell stories, but encourages conversation? At the HSD Department of Design, authors from the region share their current texts and talk to us about topics that affect us all.

Free admission, but those who wish can make a donation to pass on the joy of reading. The money raised will go to Mentor e.V. Düsseldorf @mentor_duesseldorf, which is highly committed to promoting reading among children.

Something special awaits you on 09.12.25: a surprise author from the region will be given space for their own stories. If you are a writer and would like to take part, you can apply by 30.11.25 - simply send a short introduction and an excerpt of your text to meetandread@outlook.de.

Snacks and drinks will be available for a small price. Help yourself to the colorful candy bar.

Come along, listen, bring your questions, thoughts and friends.

We look forward to seeing you!
