Olympia - the unbelievable story

About 12062020 Olympia

Our world, our society has not felt as if they are in balance for a long time. Nevertheless, it seems like neither politics nor the economy is addressing the big questions of our time satisfyingly: can we continue to consume as we do now without destroying our planet? Can technology alone really stop climate change? Do I have a better chance than other people because of my heritage, my education or other aspects?

We have launched this project to ensure that these and other future-oriented questions receive as much attention as possible. Olympia is more than a single event. Olympia is an experiment; we are a movement. 

On June 12, 2020 we want to give a decisive impulse to change our society, politics and the economy in such a way that our future will offer a real perspective for our planet and for us as its inhabitants.

Please note! Due to the corona virus (SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19), we have reduced our plans for June 12, 2020 to the bare minimum for the time being, as the focus is now to thoroughly consider how things will continue. Our team is in close contact with the responsible authorities, our event agency and the Berlin Olympic Stadium in order to make appropriate decisions. We ask you to give us some time to discuss our options and come to a carefully considered decision. The ticket shipment planned for March 25, 2020 will be adjusted according to the decision.

One thing is certain: we will continue to pursue our visions and goals. Because right now we see how important it is to change and to adapt one’s behaviour to a time of crisis. Now is the time to think about what kind of world we want to live in tomorrow. Let us start there and take the future into our own hands together! 

Our Olympia-Crowd has already mastered many hurdles in the last months and we will also master this hurdle. The sooner we have clarity, the better we can address alternative options and make the best use of our limited resources!

“People that come together to move forward together towards a social, ecological and democratic future is a new impulse of solidarity. Olympia shows how much willingness there is to take over responsibility. Olympia is a chance to give space to a constructive force in our society.”

Claudine Nierth

Political activist, Spokeswomen of the Executive Board of Mehr Demokratie e.V.

“Democracy is a constant challenge, but also a daily recurring opportunity. We have rarely seen so many optimistic people that pursue one wish together — to create and realise a day which can be the beginning of so much beauty!”

Fetsum Sebhat & Teddy Tewelde

Organizers of the PxP-Festivals, singers and authors

“For me, Olympia is a big chance to dispel two great myths: sustainability cannot be fun and there are no democratic majorities for it. Olympia proves both are wrong.”

Maja Göpel

Political economist, expert for sustainability science

“We live in a democracy and we need to exercise and make use of this democratic right. We know what is ethical and important. Our future is at stake, so we should have more say and demand more from politics.”

Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht

Actor and singer
