Ca. 30 Initiativen und Organisationen arbeiten gemeinsam an der Verwirklichung des Umzuges. Seit 2021 beleben jeweils ca. 300 Mitwirkende den Karneval mit kreativen Ideen. Unser Karneval bietet Mitgestaltung, unerwartete Begegnungen und einen motivierenden Austausch

motivation
The climate change movement has been gaining significant attention, for example through the Fridays for Future movement. This awareness for climate justice, however, is mostly visible in the media and in (upper-) middle class circles.
The accompanying exclusion is increasingly criticized within and without the environmental protection movement. To combat this, we would like to incite an intersectional process of approaching environmental issues as inseparable from social issues. Through cooperation with schools, youth clubs, neigbourhood organisations etc. we will spark discussion and encourage community involvement. Artistic self-expression transcends generations and cultures.
The approach to this project is crucial: rather than creating a patronizing campaign about the global situation, we will instigate a participatory exploration of environmental issues, and engage with the topic through art, humor and poetry.
The Karneval symbolizes new beginnings and societal catharsis. After months of social distancing, we view a parade as an optimal way to break through isolation as well as strengthen a feeling of togetherness and shared visions for the future of our environment
The parade will offer the opportunity to bring art and discourse to the streets, while upholding hygiene regulations.
