Summer reception in Lauterbach: Strong together for cohesion!

Summer reception in Lauterbach: Strong together for cohesion!

Social interaction is very important in the Vogelsberg district. On June 30th, the SPD Vogelsberg invites you to a summer reception in Lauterbach, which has the motto “Togetherness”. The event, which will take place at the Posthotel Johannesberg from 6:30 p.m., is intended to serve as a platform to strengthen social cohesion and promote active exchange. Dr. Volker Jung, former church president of the Evangelical Church of Hesse-Nassau, and Imke Grünewald, president of the Soroptimist Club Lauterbach-Vogelsberg, will take on the role of initiators and will pay particular attention to people's needs.

But what are the questions that will be discussed during the evening? The organizers want to know what holds society together in these challenging times. Coexistence in Vogelsberg is also examined, and there are considerations about what people need in order to feel heard and included in their “home with a future”. The SPD Vogelsberg is hoping for numerous interested people who are willing to have a lively exchange.

Commitment to cohesion

Social cohesion is viewed as a valuable but endangered asset not only in Vogelsberg but throughout Germany. According to findings from bpb.de, many citizens express pessimism about the current state of cohesion. This has not least to do with the global crises and advancing digitalization, which cause fears and increase the need for security. The question of cohesion is particularly important in the period after reunification, as East and West Germany still differ in some aspects.

The results of a general population survey, for example, show that up to 46% of East Germans perceive cohesion as bad. In comparison, the values ​​in the West are 10 percentage points lower. These facts make it clear that there is a strong need in society for better coexistence, which should be promoted through political and social measures. This is also where the SPD Vogelsberg starts with its summer reception.

Together for a better future

The topics of the reception are not only locally relevant, but also radiate far beyond Lauterbach. The discussions surrounding social cohesion are also, to a certain extent, a reflection of the current social challenges. The event offers everyone interested the opportunity to contribute their thoughts and ideas and to actively participate in the conversation. This may create support that can help us overcome the fears and difficulties of an increasingly complex world together.

With its commitment, the SPD Vogelsberg is committed to strong cooperation and the promotion of social relationships - especially in times when many people are looking for new connections. The summer reception on June 30th could not only be a social get-together, but also a prelude to a stronger community in the Vogelsberg district.
