European Public Sphere goes Münster
In contrast to Bonn, an open discussion was scheduled. Even more than at the last stops, passers-by did not show any false shyness and alternately occupied chairs under the dome. Some main topics quickly emerged: European democracy, cultural identity or identities as a field of tension in Europe and a global vision of the future beyond Europe’s borders.
The discussion was very exciting and dynamic. Many different points of view and ideas were raised. Once again, time flew by. All participants and some of the quiet listeners on the outside of the dome thanked us for our contribution, for the opportunity to talk about the paramount topic “Europe”. In Münster, too, important buidling blocks for Europe’s social structure came together thanks to the enthusiasm for debate on the part of those present. We are looking forward to our next stop in Düsseldorf!
