On August 23, 2025<\/b>, we celebrated the very first edition of our One Voice Festival\u2014and 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.<\/p>\n

This festival was part of our \u201cTogether and Different\u201d project\u2014and this very motto ran like a common thread through the entire day.<\/p>\n

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\u2014moments full of energy and community that will stay with everyone for a long time to come.<\/p>\n

Art & Graffiti \u2013 Faces of Diversity<\/b><\/h2>\n

A special highlight was the art. Artist Isa collaborated with young people to create a large-scale piece bearing the message \u201cTogether and Different.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

Workshops invited participants to get creative themselves\u2014from painting to spontaneous drawings in an open-mic format. In this way, art became a shared experience.<\/p>\n

Culinary Diversity<\/b><\/h2>\n

Of course, food was a must. Our food stand served as a melting pot of cultures: from sweet cr\u00eapes to savory dishes with unique flavors. Many visitors later remarked that the food and socializing were just as important as the music and dancing\u2014after all, the way to the heart is through the stomach.<\/p>\n
