Sprechen & Zuhören: Allein sein - Einsam sein. Wie geht es dir damit?

In the organizer's words:

Speaking & listening

Being alone - being lonely. How do you feel about that?

Around 17 million people live alone in Germany, about one in five. How do people who live alone feel? And what does it actually mean to live alone? Does living alone also mean being alone or lonely? Let's talk about it.

Talking & Listening is a dialog format with simple rules that enable the experience of an open exchange. The format was developed by Mehr Demokratie e.V. and has been tried and tested many times.

Four people sit in a circle, each in turn speaks for four minutes and the others listen, do not interrupt, do not comment and do not evaluate what has been said. The focus is on personal experiences, thoughts and feelings, which we understand as part of social reality. The type of encounter at Speak & Listen makes it possible to allow for differences and to experience them as enriching rather than divisive.

Many people who have experienced the format once come back because it is "different every time", because it is "easy" and "does you good". If you would also like to have this experience, you are cordially invited to take part in Speaking & Listening at the Melanchthon Academy; this time with the focus on Being Alone - Being Lonely. How do you feel about it?
