Hamburg is calling: Take part in the Olympic bid! Your vote counts!
The anticipation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games is palpable in Hamburg. The Hamburg Senate has launched a comprehensive participation campaign under the motto “Your City – Your Voice – Your Games”. The aim of this initiative is to actively inform citizens about the planned application and to incorporate their opinions and ideas into the process. As the Eimsbüttel News report, the voices of the people of Hamburg should not only be heard, but also make a decisive contribution to the design of the games.
Participatory events are on the program in every Hamburg district as early as November. These events offer citizens the opportunity to actively participate in discussions on topics such as mobility, spectator experience and the long-term added value of the Games. A special highlight will be the opening event on November 18th at MUT! Theater in Eimsbüttel, where the focus is on workshops, lectures and musical contributions. An important aspect of the campaign is online participation, which is open until December 12th. Here, citizens can express their opinions and submit suggestions for new sports offerings. They also have the opportunity to vote on five additional sports.
A collaborative process
