Encounter.Exchange.Engagement.
A weekend that connects!
In a time of increasing social tensions, we would like to encourage and invite people to actively get involved. We want to build bridges, promote dialogue and strengthen joint action.
The focus lies on voluntary and social commitment – as the key to cohesion and a vibrant democracy. We create space for exchange, networking and visibility to share ideas and practical ways of working together.
All events are free of charge.
We look forward to seeing you.
The first day (Saturday, 21.02.2026) is intended as a door opener and kick-off event. A film screening and discussion is planned at the Breitwand cinema in Starnberg, followed by a concert with the band “Ska-Jah” in the Schlossberghalle.
Building on this, local associations and organizations will have the opportunity to present their work to a wide audience on the second day (Sunday 22.02.2026) as part of a “Brunch of Opportunities” in the Schlossberghalle Starnberg. Here, new networks can be established and committed citizens can find out about volunteering and the work of the respective organization. The program is framed by activities for children and young people.
Das Projekt der Mut- und Mitmachtage endet nicht mit dem Event, sondern beginnt hier eigentlich erst richtig. Geplant sind weitere Aktionen wie z.B. der Aufbau einer nachhaltigen Struktur zur Dokumentation der bisherigen Ideen, der Erstellung eines „Leitfadens für mehr Miteinander“ und eine Übergabe in dauerhafte Ehrenamtsstrukturen. Die Idee der „Mut- und Mitmachtage“ etabliert einen Prozess, der die Grenzen zwischen Milieus, Generationen und politischen Ansichten überwindet.
Participation is free of charge for all participants and interested parties.
