Hoffest a családoknak: zene, játékok és színes találkozók Potsdamban!

A happy cooperation is on the program next Saturday, July 11, 2025, in the youth club on Georg-Hermann-Allee 134 in Potsdam. The Hoffest for Families, organized by the social city of Propotsdam gGmbH, wants to promote the exchange and encounter in the neighborhood. If there is a free entry, for which donations are of course welcome, visitors can expect a colorful offer that does not allow boredom.

From 4 p.m., children can live out their urge to move with Chica, while the adults chat comfortably over coffee and cake. We continue at 5 p.m. with a musical highlight: the "Grooving Smoothies" appear and promise to create a lot of mood with their mix of jazz, latin, klezmer and Balkans. There are also entertaining handicrafts, face painting and the opportunity to try different toys for the little guests - there is something for everyone!

Classic meets Kiez: Musical support in Schlaatz

parallel to the Hoffest, the project "Schlaatz meets Classic" goes into the next round, which was launched by the Association of Social City of Potsdam and Kibuz. A cél? To bring young people closer to classical music and at the same time to support Alissa Kravtsova, a talented vocal soloist and music teacher. She herself is part of this book project, which not only gives her the opportunity to support her through further training like that of chamber singer Eva-Maria Opitz, but also to build a youth choir.

The committed mother teaches children and adolescents in the House of Generations and Cultures and plans the choir's appearances in special places in the Schlaatz that are supposed to strengthen the connection between youth and culture.

music as a bridge in the migration society

Another aspect that is important in the community is the influence of music on social interaction, especially in a diverse migration society, as can also be observed in Potsdam. Music often crosses cultural and linguistic limits and can be an important medium to combine different identities. The western-Eastern Divan Orchestra, founded by Daniel Barenboim, pursues the motto "Equal in Music" and shows how music can create connections and strengthen distinctions.

culture is a multi -layered term that can both act as a connecting element and contributes to creating differences. In this context, it is essential that social work is made up for the requirements of cultural participation and is strong for the interests of migrant groups in order to promote equal opportunities and reduce prejudices. Diversity -conscious approaches in social and cultural work focus on the variety of realities in life and demand a differentiated view of cultural identities.

whether at the hope for families or as part of projects such as "Schlaatz meets Classic", music plays an important role in social interaction and integration. In this way, not only the community is strengthened, but also a contribution to a respectful and appreciative cooperation.
