Free youth concert in Nürnberg

For two years we couldn’t see our favorite bands live. Now inflation kicks in and we can hardly pay for our free time. Culture should be accessible to EVERYONE, because it increases the quality of life and means social participation! At the same time, artists and the event industry urgently need support! That’s why we organized a youth concert for all of us to focus on the social value of art and culture and: Because we’re just in the mood to have a good time and dance into May 1st!

So: Pack up your friends, your family, fellow students and colleagues and come on April 30th. to the Kornmarkt in Nuremberg! Celebrate in solidarity for free!

The next day we go demonstrating. It’s May 1st – the day of the working class!:
In Erlangen: 11:00 a.m. Neustädter Kirchenplatzz. In Nuremberg: 10:00 a.m. Aufseßplatz

Future Talk “Bike, Bahn, Beamen: How do we shape future mobility?”

On April 18th, the next Future Talk will take place on the topic “Bike, Bahn, Beamen: How do we shape future mobility?” will be held at the Nuremberg Museum of the Future.
Our world is on the move – and at the same time it is stuck in traffic. Mobility enables participation in social life, but also creates traffic stress and pollutes the environment. That’s why startups are developing new forms of mobility: emission-free, young, innovative. Colorful mobility fantasies are emerging and everything seems conceivable. With Spiegel bestselling author Kajta Diehl, mobility researcher Dr. Weert Canzler and Manuel Robledo, CEO of insertEFFECT, we put today’s mobility to the test and discuss future solutions.

Guests:
Katja Diehl, author, podcaster and transport turnaround activist.
Dr. habil. Weert Canzler, mobility researcher at the Social Science Research Center Berlin
Manuel Robledo, founder & CTO of insertEFFECT GmbH

Date: 04/18/2023, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Live on site: German Museum Nuremberg
Admission: Free admission, tickets for free reservation in the ticket store of the German Museum Nuremberg.
