Information stands, hands-on activities and a varied cultural programme by Ilmenau clubs, initiatives, schools, organizations and individuals invite you to get to know them and provide a playful insight into their commitment, diversity and enjoyment in activities. Voluntary and full-time staff build networks, synergies are bundled, new concepts/formats are developed, resources are conserved and embedded sustainably. Full-time and voluntary work form a strong unit: strengthening civil society cooperation and inspiring trust in order to actively shape society. The “Begegnungs- und Kulturvieleck am Wetzlarer Platz” format is intended to create time and space for various players and to attract other interested parties in Ilmenau and beyond. Voluntary and full-time commitment to diversity, humanity, cohesion and environmental protection in Ilmenau should be made visible and public, free of charge and without barriers. The aim is also to encourage people who have not yet visited Ilmenau’s city center to do so outside of these events.
