The event, scheduled from 10 AM to 12 PM, invites participants aged 18 and older to register by August 19, 2026, through a questionnaire designed to match them with a conversation partner of differing political perspectives from the same region. This initiative, supported by the Märkische Oderzeitung and Lausitzer Rundschau, aims to foster open dialogue amidst political polarization. ‘Deutschland spricht,’ launched in 2017, has facilitated over 100,000 discussions globally, promoting a culture of respectful debate.
