With our unique conversation dome we will visit ten public places in Saxony in early summer 2021. At all the locations, we will speak with up to 20 citizens and invited representatives from political and civil society under our dome.
Sax it Up! is inviting everyone, regardless of their background and settings, to speak up - for five minutes or 1.5 hours. In dialogue, we overcome prejudices, discover common ground, and develop solutions in solidarity for Saxony's future questions. We want to listen to one another, learn to understand each other and talk about problems and solutions together - for solidarity in Saxony and beyond.
Everyone gets to express individual topics and suggestions. We identify problems and debate ideas. Ideals are confronted, filter bubbles burst and commonalities are discovered. We experience how political decision-making and solidarity are created, by listening and being listened to.
This is also shown by the dome itself: The wooden struts, meeting in geometric triangles, pentagons and hexagons, symbolise the necessary democratic statics and cultural diversity of the shared Saxon home. Each strut contributes to the cohesion of the whole.
Following-up on the dialogues, we will create a Catalogue of Ideas from the gathered ideas. This catalogue and the video recordings of the individual stops will be available online, so you're always with us on the road. We will hand the Catalogue over to politicians in Saxony after the end of the discussion rounds!
