Gathering at Laurentiusplatz for an Old-Fashioned Coffee Social
In a city-society setting, the role of ordinary citizens, particularly grandmothers, is being recognised as crucial in promoting engagement, fostering democratic order, and preserving a shared future. These "grandmas" are often ordinary, older women who embody grassroots activism, community care, and democratic values.
These grandmothers are not just symbols of family love but also of democratic participation at the grassroots level. They listen, resist, and cultivate hope for reconciliation and shared futures, standing firm against threats to democracy such as far-right politics. Their persistent civic engagement serves as a reminder that democracy can be upheld not just by leaders or elites, but by everyday people.
Moreover, grandmothers are community caregivers, nurturing the social fabric necessary for a democratic society to flourish. They support families and neighbourhoods, and their everyday acts of care contribute significantly to building a just and inclusive society.
This event aims to provide a platform for a relaxed and conducive discussion about the roles of these grandmothers in the city-society. Participants are encouraged to share their personal experiences and insights, fostering open dialogue. The conversation will involve a diverse group of individuals, possibly including grandmothers, and will cover topics such as hopes for the shared future of the city-society, preserving democratic societal order for future generations, and concerns that move the participants.
The aim of the event is to discuss ways in which everyone can contribute to the city-society. It is scheduled to take place at a specific location, such as a cafe, and refreshments like coffee and cake will be served during the event. The discussion could lead to the identification of potential solutions for city-society issues, as everyone comes together to share ideas and learn from each other.
In conclusion, this event is a unique opportunity to appreciate the role of grandmothers in our society and to discuss how we can all engage for the betterment of our city-society. It serves as a reminder that ordinary citizens, particularly grandmothers, play a vital role in preserving democracy and building a shared future.
This event offers a chance to delve into the significant roles grandmothers play in our city-society, bridging the gap between home-and-garden life and civic engagement. Their lifestyle, characterized by care, concern, and community involvement, is central to the democratic order and shaping a shared future.
Moreover, the discussion encourages participants to exchange ideas on how to uphold democracy at home, in the community, and throughout the city-society, emphasizing the importance of everyday lives in preserving the shared future.
