The Federal President’s “BÜRGERFEST” 2019 Schloss Bellevue Saturday, 31 August 2019
Dear guests, Welcome to the open day at Schloss Bellevue! We are de- lighted to have you as our guests in Schloss Bellevue and the park today.
We warmly invite you to get to know the official residence of the Federal President and to meet people who are en- gaged in various forms of voluntary work in our country. The “Bürgerfest” honours this work and all the people who contribute their ideas and invest their energy to promote solidarity within our society and make it an attractive place to live – whether in associations and church com- munities, in the field of environmental protection or in culture and education. What people achieve during the countless hours of volun- tary work they perform is what makes our country strong. They provide practical assistance, they encourage and inspire others. They assume responsibility. And amid the diversity of their engagement, they are united by the desire to shape our society – they are united by their enthusiasm for the future! This year’s “Bürgerfest” partner regions, Finland and Land North Rhine-Westphalia, also fuel our enthusiasm for the future. We would like to thank them particularly for their contribution to this event, along with the many other partners. Making our voices heard, rolling up our sleeves and always remaining open to new ideas is what we want to convey by choosing “Embracing the future” as the motto for this “Bürgerfest”. Enjoy the day and allow yourselves to be inspired! After all, the future is what we make of it, together. Frank-Walter Steinmeier Elke Büdenbender

CULTURAL HIGHLIGHTS
ROLAND KAISER
Since the start of his career,
German artist Roland
Kaiser has won the hearts
of three generations with
his music and through
his social activity. Life
has made Roland Kaiser a
prominent personality –
he is frequently honoured
for his social engagement,
not least with the Order of
Merit of the Federal Repu-
blic of Germany in 2016.
His broad repertoire reads like a journey through the his-
tory of German schlager music of the 1970s, 80s and 90s.
APOCALYPTICA
On 10 May 1996, the Finnish metal
band Apocalyptica released their debut
album “Plays Metallica By Four Cellos”,
creating their own genre and laying the
foundations for a career that has span-
ned more than 20 years. Along the way
they have explored several musical
styles – ranging from atmospheric interludes to rapid, batte-
ring rhythms – but their music has remained dynamic and
melodious throughout.
GAYLE TUFTS
For more than 25 years, Gayle Tufts has
been building a bridge between her old
and her new homelands. Her pieces
reflect her personal view of Trump’s
America and her love of Germany. As
an entertainer, singer and author, Gayle
Tufts combines dance and song, music
and words in at least two languages, ac-
companied by Marian Lux on the piano.

THE YOUNG CLASSX –
SOLO ENSEMBLE AND BEREN KADER FIDAN
The Otto Group presents its music education project
“The Young ClassX”. The solo ensemble select choir will
perform with a band at this year’s “Bürgerfest” alongside
Beren Kader Fidan. The Turkish soprano began her musical
training in 2012, driven by the desire to become an opera
performer. The musicians demonstrate how it feels to do
something you love – and to enjoy it in the process.
ROBIN PACKALEN
It would be no exaggeration to describe
Robin Packalen as a prodigy of Finnish
pop music. The singer and performer
from Turku, southern Finland, released
his celebrated debut album at the age of
13. Packalen, who has had a reputation
as a teenage star for many years in the
Nordic countries, now appears as a mature solo performer,
combining influences from urban pop, dance and electro
with R&B singing and an electric rock guitar.
HORST HANSEN TRIO
With its multifaceted interpretations of modern jazz, the
Horst Hansen Trio offer their audience a varied performance
in terms of both their music and their stage outfits. Their
music can be described as
honest and not excessively
intellectual. This is reflec-
ted in groovy rhythms, wild
time changes and energetic
improvisation sessions.

FEDERAL PRESIDENT FRANK-WALTER STEINMEIER
IN CONVERSATION WITH
Space, the deep sea and the polar regions are extreme
environments hostile to human life. However, the scien-
tific insights gleaned there help us to better understand
our habitat Earth as well as changes in the climate and the
environment. The more we know about these changes,
the better we can target our efforts to counteract them
in order to ensure a viable future also for generations to
come. The Federal President will talk to two scientists who
through their research trips have gained a quite unique
perspective on our habitat Earth and who are encouraging
people to work to build a positive future.

On the stage, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in conversation with: Prof. Dr Antje Boetius The Director of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) at the Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research and Pro- fessor of Geomicrobiology at the Marum Research Faculty, Universität Bremen, heads a research group on deep sea ecology and technology at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology. She has taken part in almost 50 expe- ditions to all the world’s oceans and is currently preparing for an expedition to the North Pole designed to provide insights into the consequences of the rapid climate change in the Arctic. In 2018, she received the German Environ- mental Award of the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt DBU (German Federal Foundation for the Environment) and the Communicator Award of the Stifterverband (Donors’ Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany) and the Deutsche Forschungs- gemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) for her en- gagement in communicating her research on the deep sea and the polar regions in many ways and over many years. Dr Alexander Gerst The geophysicist has already flown to the International Space Station (ISS) twice for the European Space Agency (ESA) and holds the European record for the most days in orbit, 363 in total. Furthermore, in the context of his last mission “Horizons” (2018), he was the second European and first German commander of the ISS. Gerst conducted numerous experiments in space, including cancer research and experiments on artificial intelligence topics. “Only when we understand the universe in which we live will we be able to protect our home” is how he describes part of the motivation behind his work. His photos from the ISS cupola memorably revealed the vulnerability of our planet. Gerst holds the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, First Class, and has received many prizes for his work as an astronaut and scientist. Presenter: Bettina Tietjen INDEX MAP

INDEX MAP“ORT DER BEGEGNUNG” (GARDEN STAGE) “ORT DER BEGEGNUNG” (GARDEN STAGE) – EMBRACING THE FUTURE! The future is open to all of us. We can shape it. At the “Ort der Begegnung” you can get to know people who are confronting the challenges of the future: issues concerning digital transformation, environmental protec- tion and education. How do we want to live together, and what conditions do we need to put in place today to make it possible? INDEX MAP
One thing is sure, our future will be shaped by the radical changes ushered in by the digital transformation. We need knowledge and skills in order to understand and make use of the changes that the digital transformation brings with it. What opportunities for positively shaping our future co-existence does digital technology open up – for instance, with regard to civic engagement? Other exciting initiatives such as JUUUPORT e.V., Klischeefrei [Cliché Free Initiative], the Finnish climate initiative Ilmastoveivi2019 and many others will showcase a wide range of their very different activities. The “Ort der Begegnung” is a discussion forum. You are warmly invited to participate: in the panel discussions on the stage, in conversations with volunteers at the various project stands or in talks with other “Bürgerfest” guests. Let’s talk about our future together: with heart and reason, with passion and an open mind for good ideas! We would like to thank all the partners for their engage- ment and support. INDEX MAP

INDEX MAPPARTNER PROGRAMME ACKERDEMIA e. V. | GEMÜSEACKERDEMIE Ackerdemia – making an impact, acre by acre: “A generation that knows what it eats” – that is the goal of the charitable organisation Ackerdemia. In 2019 the organisation sent out almost 500 kindergartens and schools into the fields through its educational programme GemüseAckerdemie (Vegetable Acre-demy): The children plant up to 30 diffe- rent types of vegetables in their own field and are thereby able to learn where food comes from. At the stand, guests can use all their senses to test their knowledge of vegeta- bles and discover fascinating food facts – directly in the vegetable patch. AG EMS | GREEN TRAVEL IN THE WADDEN SEA WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE SITE The Wadden Sea, a World Natural Heritage site protected by UNESCO, is always in flux, always new. The AG EMS is helping to preserve this unique habitat, and presents at the “Bürgerfest”: Green travel, a competition with photos of people modelling typical yellow oilskins (the “Ostfriesen nerz”), a drawing activity with an island artist and a “mud- flat sense box”. An authentic East Frisian tea ceremony, shrimp-picking and the singing mudflats guide – East Frisian culture meets Berlin! AKTION MENSCH e. V. | ENGAGEMENT FOR ACCESSIBILITY Aktion Mensch e.V. is the largest private funding organi- sation in the social sector in Germany. It uses the income from its lottery to support up to 1000 social projects each month. Its goal is to promote the natural interaction of people with and without disabilities within society. At the Federal President’s “Bürgerfest”, Aktion Mensch will be working to eliminate barriers: it is responsible for organi- sing ramps, accessible toilet facilities and sign-language interpreters.

ALLIANZ DEUTSCHLAND AG | PERFORMANCE, PASSION AND FAIR PLAY: COMMUNICATING VALUES THROUGH SPORT – AT THE TOP LEVEL AND ACROSS THE BOARD Whether at top level or across the board, in clubs or social projects: Allianz has been involved in sport for a long time. Since the beginning of the year, it has been a natio- nal sponsor of the German Sports Aid Foundation. A com- mon goal is to communicate the positive values fostered by sport to set an example particularly for children and young people. In the context of the “Bürgerfest”, selected German Sports Aid Foundation athletes will support the social project Sportkinder Berlin in their goal to promote health, education and integration among children through sport and exercise. BAYER FOUNDATIONS | PARTNERS OF THE PIONEERS Pioneering spirit and dedication have been at the heart of Bayer’s foundation work since 1897. At the Foundations’ stand, you can meet people who are trailblazing with social innovations all over the world, for example in preventive healthcare or with the use of technological innovations to safeguard global food supply. Our younger guests can give free rein to their creativity in the children’s drawing competition. BERLINER SPARKASSE | INSIGHTS FOR THE INQUISITIVE The Berliner Sparkasse’s engagement takes many forms. The most recent example is its cooperation with the Museum of Natural History in Berlin. The Museum and the Spar- kasse share the goal of wanting to enable everyone to have easy access to knowledge. The two partners are jointly planning a series of events entitled “Insights”. At the stand, guests can learn more about it and about other joint activities. Exciting competitions, little trophies and “Aha!” moments await both older and younger guests – providing insights, indeed! INDEX MAP
BERLINER WASSERBETRIEBE | OUR WATER SPEAKS FOR ITSELF Natural, refreshing and delicious: that is the message the Berliner Wasserbetriebe want to send with their Berlin wa- ter at the Federal President’s “Bürgerfest”.

BERTELSMANN STIFTUNG | JOIN IN – FOR VIBRANT DEMOCRACY The Bertelsmann Stiftung works to encourage everyone to participate in society – in the fields of politics, business and culture. Its focus is on the individual. The Stiftung explores the various forms of political involvement. How can we bolster our democracy? How can we improve the dialogue between the people who live here and people who are active in politics? Hands-on activities at the stand invite people to engage in discussion. COACH e. V. – COLOGNE INITIATIVE FOR THE EDUCATION AND INTEGRATION OF YOUNG MIGRANTS | PROMOTING EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND CHILDREN’S RIGHTS Education gives every single person the chance to discover their talents and potential.

DEUTSCHE FERNSEHLOTTERIE gGmbH | EVERY TICKET HELPS The origins of Germany’s traditional social lottery go back to the campaign “A place in the sun”, which supported needy children in Berlin during the Berlin airlifts. The Deutsche Fernsehlotterie that arose from this campaign has since been supporting cohesion in the country, together with its participants. After all, every ticket helps! At the “Bürgerfest”, the Deutsche Fernsehlotterie will provide more information on that initial campaign to provide holidays for needy children and on its background with a photo box, a lottery wheel and many other attractions.

At the “Bürger- fest”, LOTTO Deutschland will be focusing on the promo- tion of sport and therefore also voluntary work.

They serve as reminders of the story behind refugees’ departure from their homes, while representing fresh prospects and a new beginning. The team’s engage- ment is reflected in their own collection, making those who wear their items into a walking advertisement for greater openness and tolerance. At the stand, all guests can con- tribute their handiwork to a perspectives quilt and thereby learn about the material the dinghies are made of and the stories behind it. NORTH RHINE-WESTPHALIA | #ENGAGIERTINNRW – ENGAGEMENT IS COLOURFUL In North Rhine-Westphalia, around six million people are involved in voluntary work. To honour particularly outstanding projects, each year the government of North Rhine-Westphalia awards the NRW Engagement Prize in cooperation with the NRW Foundation for Nature Protec- tion, Community and Cultural Preservation. This creates a platform for voluntary activities. “Bürgerfest” guests are warmly invited to meet the three winners of the 2018 NRW Engagement Prize: the Frohngauer village association Alte Schule e.V., Mein Ickern e.V. and Gründerzeitviertel e.V. Mönchengladbach. OTTO GROUP HAMBURG | THE YOUNG CLASSX The Otto Group is a globally active trade and services group.
