Events on 26 August and 10 September on refugee experiences, integration and social debate
Darmstadt. Under the motto "Asylum is a Human Right," the Darmstadt district chapter of Alliance 90/The Greens is hosting two public theme evenings. The focus will be on migration, personal experiences of displacement, integration, and current political developments.
The backdrop is the global situation, in which around 122 million people are currently fleeing war and persecution. The Darmstadt Greens want to use these events to contribute to a factual debate and at the same time draw attention to restrictions on asylum law.
26 August: “Be Human” – Refugee Experiences and Facts
The first evening of the series begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, in the Rosa Parks Hall in the Lincoln Estate. Timmo Scherenberg of the Hessian Refugee Council will present current facts on asylum policy. Fateme Hosseini, Amir, Fatima, and Saman will share their personal experiences of refugee status, their hopes, and their challenges.
Barbara Akdeniz, Mayor and Head of Social Affairs of the Science City of Darmstadt, and Andreas Schwöbel from the Church Asylum will then speak about the situation on the ground and society's treatment of asylum seekers. Eva Bredow-Cordier and Sandra Seeger will moderate the event.
September 10: Migration as a gain
The second evening will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the "Zum Goldenen Löwen" in Arheilgen. Under the working title "Migration as a Gain," representatives from Darmstadt-based companies and initiatives will discuss the contribution of immigration to social prosperity.
Both events are open to the public; registration is not required.
