Europe direct office opened
The Europe Direct Centre Chemnitz was officially opened today at the TIETZ.
Europe Direct Manager Tina Winkel presented the centre's tasks and priorities and gave an insight into its future work.
With this centre, the city of Chemnitz is creating a central location for information, exchange and European educational work that builds on the impetus of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 and continues this in the long term and structurally in the sense of "legacy".
In the year of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, discussions were held and new networks, spaces and formats were created. These are to be continued and expanded in the spirit of the European idea and European themes are to be anchored in the cityscape and in the consciousness of Chemnitz residents.
To this end, the intervention spaces that have been created are to be used as permanent places for European encounters. Furthermore, mobile formats for outreach EU communication are to be developed and cultural, social and technological transformations combined - with the aim of providing long-term European education and participation programmes.
EU topics are to be communicated in an everyday and dialogue-oriented manner. The focus here is primarily on children and young people, people in structurally weak neighbourhoods, employees undergoing structural change and multipliers. Various formats in the intervention areas, such as the Garage Campus, the Stadtwirtschaft, the Hartmannfabrik and other smaller areas, are already being planned.
