Schwerin celebrates the lock weekend with a parade and light show!

Schwerin, Deutschland - In Schwerin there is an exciting weekend that combines numerous events from June 13th to June 15th.

The event includes an extensive program that takes place in the "most beautiful state parliament in Germany". On Sunday, June 15th, the state parliament invites you to an open day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in which visitors have the opportunity to have interesting discussions and take part in a competition, such as Ostsee-Zeitung reported. Visitors can also get to know the new newsletters "Politics in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania" and "5in5 Schwerin", presented by OZ editor-in-chief Andreas Ebel.

The veteran day: a sign of recognition

The veteran day on June 15 marks a nationwide initiative to recognize the merits of veterans. This event, which takes place on the floating meadow in Schwerin, includes various actions and information stands. According to Schwerin News , the motto of the day is "recognition, appreciation, humanity". Organizer Olaf Tünnemann emphasizes the civil society orientation of the event that is organized without institutional ties.

As Tünnemann explains, the aim of the event is to promote a respectful view of the veterans without dealing with political or military demonstrations of power. Workshops are offered for democracy education that specifically respond to the fears of relatives and veterans. In addition, support is provided for veterans with mental or social stress, such as post -traumatic stress disorders (PTBS).

social dialogue and cohesion

Tünnemann emphasizes the importance of dialogue and transparency in veteran work. It also refers to the counter -protests of peace movements that are organized in different places to draw attention to their demands. However, it is open to the dialogue with these initiatives and respects their views. The veteran day should be a place for social responsibility and gratitude and invites everyone to take part.

The weekend in Schwerin will be shaped by numerous events that put the cohesion in the city and the appreciation for the merits of the veterans. At the same time, the day in the state parliament offers an excellent opportunity to get to know the work of politicians and the political groups and to actively contribute to the democratic processes.
