Demokratie braucht Zeit. Wie kann diese ermöglicht werden?
Und: Wie können Hürden zur demokratischen und partizipativen Teilhabe abgebaut werden?

Man muss schon eine besondere Form des moralischen Gedächtnisverlusts kultiviert haben,um nach zehn Jahren Schutzgewährung,nach tausenden geretteten Familien,nach einer halben Million Kindern,die heute Lesen,Schreiben und Träumen können,ernsthaft zu fragen,was wir denn eigentlich geschafft haben. ⬇️
Collage mit Angela Merkel und einem jungen Geflüchteten, die gemeinsam ein Selfie machen. Darüber steht groß in weißen Buchstaben „Wir schaffen das“. Darunter in kleinerer Schrift: „– und die erstaunliche Fähigkeit, das Erreichte zu verleugnen“. Im Hintergrund ist eine dunkle Karte Europas mit leuchtenden Punkten angedeutet, unten rechts das Logo „Wemeze“ mit einem kleinen blauen Schmetterling.
