  • Plug in Beats – Smartphone Party

    In 2016, Feierwerk, a socio-cultural non-profit organisation in Munich (Germany), experimented an innovative party concept that is based on democratic and active participation and that fosters inclusion: Plug in Beats – Munich’s first Smart(phone) party.

    By creating low-level access and means of participation in cultural venues, Feierwerk managed to create an event that encourages active participation of new citizens, and especially for those with language barriers and/or different cultural backgrounds.

    Actively working with newcomers became an evidence for the organisation when new citizens arrived in very large numbers in Munich and when the city installed a refugee camp in front of one of Feierwerk’s live music venues.
