Starnberg experiences three days of democracy to participate in
The Long Night of Democracy brings together discussions, workshops, music, film, and many participatory activities from October 1 to 3, 2026, in Starnberg. The project of the Values Alliance Bavaria is aimed at children, young people, and adults and focuses on encounters, participation, and vibrant political education. The program is organized on-site by vhs StarnbergAmmersee, the Starnberg Dialogue for Peaceful Coexistence, and the Starnberg Youth Council together with numerous cooperation partners.

A kickoff with attitude and audience mood
On October 1, the event series kicks off with the opening Fairplay in Sports – Fairplay for Democracy in the Schlossberghalle Starnberg. The focus is on conversation, perspective shift, and the question of how fair play in sports and democratic coexistence fit together. The opening event combines welcoming words, impulses, and discussions with audience participation into a clear event experience with substantive depth.

Workshops, film, and young participation
October 2 consolidates the densest part of the program: Democracy mile, youth offers, cinema, workshops, and the big band concert from the music school shape the day. Additional formats such as graffiti for democracy, picture book cinema for children, the climate democracy workshop, and the film evening at the Breitwand cinema are included. This creates a varied program with a high target group appeal that cleverly combines education, entertainment, and exchange.

A festive conclusion on the Day of German Unity
On October 3, cinema, democracy church, pulpit speech, organ concert, and encounters in the Peace Church come to the forefront. The conclusion emphasizes atmosphere, community, and quiet moments of reflection - a fitting conclusion for a format that understands democracy as a shared experience.
