The initiative “Deutschland spricht” (Germany Speaks) will reconvene in 2026, bringing together Germans with diverse perspectives to discuss pressing contemporary issues. This year’s focus includes the impact of social media use starting at age 16, the rise of artificial intelligence, and critically, German work habits – specifically, whether Germans work enough. The platform aims to foster dialogue on these topics, encouraging open discussion and exchange. Individuals are now invited to register and participate in these nationwide conversations. “Deutschland spricht” provides a space for citizens to engage with complex questions shaping the future of German society. The program encourages broad participation from across the country to ensure a representative range of viewpoints. Further details and registration information are currently available.
