SUMMARY:Understanding the Past & Practicing the Present
DESCRIPTION:City Walk | Workshops | Panel Talk | Performance | Excibition  \nHow have historical events shaped the way our cities look\, and include people today? \nHow are citizens’ rights reflected in our everyday urban environments?\nHow can citizens work together with municipalities to improve their communities?\nHow can we make our cities more inclusive and accessible so that everyone can feel that they belong?\nWhat can Dresden\, Prague\, Ostrava\, Oleśnica\, and Khmelnytskyi learn from one another about inclusion\, participation\, and belonging? \nThese are some of the questions that will guide Understanding the Past & Practicing the Present\, an international event bringing together citizens\, municipalities\, organisations\, artists\, educators\, and local communities from Germany\, Czech Republic\, Poland\, and Ukraine. \n  \nAligned with the commemoration of the Fall of the Berlin Wall\, the event explores the connections between history\, collective memory\, citizens’ rights\, and present-day urban realities. The Fall of the Berlin Wall invites us to reflect on freedom\, participation\, democratic values\, inclusion\, and the role citizens play in shaping their communities. At the same time\, it provides an opportunity to ask how these values are reflected in our cities today. \n  \nThroughout the event\, we will explore how historical events continue to influence urban spaces\, how cities remember their past\, and how issues such as accessibility\, participation\, inclusion\, and belonging are experienced in everyday life\, as well as\, ublic spaces\, culture\, community initiatives\, and opportunities for participation that play a role in creating cities where everyone feels represented and included. \nWhy Participate? \nCities of Belonging offers a unique opportunity to: \n\nMeet participants from Germany\, Czech Republic\, Poland\, and Ukraine\nExchange ideas and experiences across borders\nReflect on rights\, participation\, and urban life\nEngage directly with municipalities and local stakeholders\nPresent your work\, research\, initiatives\, or artistic practice\nBuild new collaborations and connections\nContribute to discussions on more inclusive and accessible cities\n\nBecause cities become more inclusive\, democratic\, and welcoming when the people who live in them are part of shaping them. \nProgramme\nThursday\, 19 of November 2026 | Dresden \n\n14:00–16:30 | City Walk & Photography Workshop\nJoin a guided walk through selected sites in Dresden connected to the city’s history and collective memory.
