One Voice Festival 2025 – Together and Different

SONY DSC

On August 23, 2025, we celebrated the very first edition of our One Voice Festival—and it was a day filled with voices, colors, music, and encounters. People gathered around our yellow container at the Intercultural Environmental Education Center on Tempelhofer Feld, right next to the Green Classroom, to make diversity visible and tangible.

This festival was part of our “Together and Different” project—and this very motto ran like a common thread through the entire day.

🎶 Music, dance, and powerful voices

Music was the heart of our festival. Various bands and artists took the stage, our DJs brought the beat to the field, and the dance floor was never empty. People danced, laughed, and sang—moments full of energy and community that will stay with everyone for a long time to come.

Art & Graffiti – Faces of Diversity

A special highlight was the art. Artist Isa collaborated with young people to create a large-scale piece bearing the message “Together and Different.” At the same time, an impressive graffiti mural emerged on our container: faces full of dignity, hope, and joy that elevated our message to a new level.

Workshops invited participants to get creative themselves—from painting to spontaneous drawings in an open-mic format. In this way, art became a shared experience.

Culinary Diversity

Of course, food was a must. Our food stand served as a melting pot of cultures: from sweet crêpes to savory dishes with unique flavors. Many visitors later remarked that the food and socializing were just as important as the music and dancing—after all, the way to the heart is through the stomach.

Food as a bridge between cultures.

👕 Together and Different – our T-shirt

Many guests wore our festival T-shirt, “Together and Different,” which was specially designed by young people. This shirt is more than just a piece of clothing—it’s a statement of diversity and unity.

Thanks & What’s Next

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved, helped out, and participated. Without you, this festival wouldn’t have been what it was: a visible, audible, and tangible celebration of diversity.

And this was just the beginning: We’re already planning more workshops, open-mic events, and, of course, the second edition of the One Voice Festival. Stay tuned—and stay connected with us.
