Intercultural Weeks 2024

Opening with the Festival of Cultures on 14 September, 12 noon, Markt

On Saturday, 14 September at 12 noon, Mayor Ralph Burghart will open the Intercultural Weeks in Chemnitz, which this year are entitled "ALL for Chemnitz - Chemnitz for ALL", with a festival of cultures on the market square.

The Festival of Cultures offers visitors a colourful and intercultural programme. Information, artistic and sporting activities as well as culinary offerings, stalls and creative contributions await visitors in eight different themed areas.

In the following two weeks until 29 September 2024, Chemnitz clubs, associations, institutions and organisations are invited to find out more about the topics of migration, integration and asylum and to take advantage of offers for tolerant and peaceful coexistence.

For the series of events, participants are free to decide what they would like to offer and in what form. Theatre performances, film screenings, dance classes and concerts, country evenings, sporting events, readings and discussions with authors, training courses, lectures, workshops and information events on a wide range of topics, as well as exchanges between religions and much more are all intended to stimulate interest in people and encounters. The diversity of the programme is intended to appeal to everyone in Chemnitz and encourage them to get involved.
