The start is the youth conference “Ostvision”, which will take place on October 8th from 12 p.m. in the garage campus. Here, young people between the ages of 14 and 26 from all over East Germany are invited to share their perspectives and ideas. Under the motto "Stay or go? Prospects for young people in the East" the opportunities that the region has in store for Generation Z will be discussed. Free entry, but with prior registration, makes participation possible. How Chemnitz.de reports, there will also be workshops, hands-on activities and a final party with a DJ, which are intended to loosen up the atmosphere and promote networking.

Culture as a bridge for the future
The entire event is part of the effort to promote Chemnitz as a European Capital of Culture. The focus is on the city and the region in order to set an example and bring people together. The topics discussed here are not just local, but extend far beyond the borders of Chemnitz and Saxony. How chemnitz2025.de notes, this commitment is also intended to present West Saxony as a lively, efficient region.
The Capital of Culture years offer a unique opportunity to initiate change, and it will be exciting to see what ideas and projects are brought to life through the Concrete Bloom festival. With a varied program, Chemnitz warmly invites everyone to become part of this extraordinary journey.
