Stadt bilden, Wirtschaft fördern. Integration in Berlin | Der Bürger:innen-Talk mit Lorenz Maroldt

In the organizer's words:

Citizens' talk & live podcast: "Building the city. Strengthening the economy | Integration in Berlin"
Diakoniewerk Simeon, House of Encounter, Morusstraße 18A, 12053 Berlin-Neukölln
Tuesday, February 17, 2026, 6 - 8 p.m.

Every month for a year, Diakonie brings seemingly unsolvable problems of our urban society to the big stage in all districts. Together with top politicians, business leaders and social experts, Tagesspiegel editor Lorenz Maroldt and bestselling author Anne Rabe will take it in turns to consider how things can move forward in youth welfare, inclusion, housing and construction, health and much more. The best thing is that all citizens have their say. Openly and honestly, with a common goal. Without politician-speak and catalogs of demands.

In Neukölln, they will find answers to these questions: What does the future of immigration and integration in Berlin look like? How does social participation work, through work and education? What responsibilities do business and politics have? And what does an urban society need so that diversity does not divide but unites?

Guests: Marcel Hopp (SPD), Katharina Senge (CDU), Antonia Petersen (Labour Market Policy, Berlin-Brandenburg Business Associations), Dr. Oliver Unglaube (Diakoniewerk Simeon)

Free admission.
