One such place is the AckerFestival, which will take place on 10 and 11 September 2025 at the Malzfabrik in Berlin-Schöneberg.
The festival's leitmotif is "Fair Play " - a principle that puts respect, cooperation and justice at the centre. This idea runs through all programme items and serves as a compass for the sustainable transformation that the festival aims to initiate. Fabian Grischkat and Baro Vicenta Ra Gabbert will kick off the festival with an inspiring keynote speech that picks up on the guiding principle and sets the tone for two days full of dialogue, inspiration and collaborative creation.
The AckerFestival sees itself as a platform for dialogue, inspiration and co-creation. It brings together people from various fields - science, politics, business, culture and civil society - to jointly find answers to the pressing questions of our time.
