Speaking and Listening

In this discussion format, moderated by Mag. Christa Renoldner and Stefanie Steyrer, the focus is on bringing together people with different perspectives. Developed by the association Mehr Demokratie e. V., "Speaking and Listening" facilitates a respectful exchange on current topics such as neighborhood, education, or the environment.

In small groups, each person receives an equal amount of time to share their own experiences and thoughts without interruption. The goal is not to convince others, but to foster mutual understanding. Commonalities and differences become visible without needing to be resolved. This creates a better sense of one's own and others' viewpoints.

Following the discussion, there is the opportunity to participate in an in-depth training session in spring 2027. Prerequisite is prior participation in a discussion group or a workshop on this topic.
