Democratic unity and guidance: The role of political literacy in shaping public opinion

On June 24, 2025, a thought-provoking conversation evening with Michael Nann, the study leader of the Evangelical Academy Hofgeismar, is scheduled at the Ev. Community House Großenritte, Kirchweg 3, 34225.

Michael Nann specializes in politics and society, with a focus on international and European politics, peace ethics and peace policy, migration and integration, power and domination criticism, and social inequalities in Germany. His expertise will be put to use as he discusses his current position on political education during the event.

The conversation evening is part of the series "our city Dialogues", organized by the Evangelical Churches of Großenritte, Altenritte, and Stadt-Mitte. This series focuses on socially relevant topics, discussing them within a Christian context.

The event aims to explore the significance of political education for the strengthening of our democratic society, especially in light of current challenges. Social cohesion is of particular importance in a liberal democracy, as it is based on values such as freedom, human rights, and tolerance. Political education plays a central role in promoting social cohesion in an open, pluralistic society.

The event asks about future prospects and wants to open up possibilities for action in the present. For those interested, inquiries can be directed to the organizers of the event. For suggestions & criticism, please contact the corresponding authors of the news.
