Under the motto “Celebration21”, the parents’ initiative for children with Down syndrome is presenting itself at this year’s Lollapalooza Festival in the Green Kiez. With interactive video booths and celebrity support, the initiative aims to raise awareness of the needs and rights of children with Down syndrome. Festival attendees are invited to make short reels and share them on Instagram to reach a wider audience and promote inclusion. The aim is to spread a positive message of acceptance and diversity through creative participatory activities and collaboration with stars.
The project aims to raise awareness in the online community and increase the reach of the initiative's Instagram account. With hashtags like #InklusionImSpotlight and #Trisomy21Vibes, festival visitors and artists alike are encouraged to show their support and actively work for an inclusive society. Through this campaign, the parents' initiative hopes to not only draw attention to the situation of children and people with Down syndrome, but also to create lasting awareness of inclusion and diversity.

The 17Ziele-Mobil is a redesigned shepherd's wagon that can be used at open-air events or in very spacious halls. The mobile is an eye-catcher and the center of various campaigns to publicize the 17 goals for sustainable development. The 17 goals, adopted by the United Nations in 2015 and thus by all countries in the world, affect all areas of life from education to health and well-being, sustainable consumption and production, climate protection and economic growth. We provide information about the 17 goals when it comes to mobile devices and give tips on how each individual can contribute to achieving the goals. We also advise on funding opportunities and exchange programs for development policy commitments.

With the interactive Europa Tent in the Green Kiez, we want to playfully show festival visitors where the EU is in everyday life. The stand is not a place for Europeans to celebrate, but rather makes it clear how much has already been achieved through working together in Europe and how even more important it is today to insist that Europe grows more together than apart.

We, the "group of drunks" from Berlin, used to party on festivals, in bars and clubs. We thought we found freedom in using drugs and alcohol
as much as we wanted. Now we define freedom differently. We have discovered that we can have much more fun partying sober and free of any
substances. We have found a way to live a sober and peaceful life that combines healthy relationships with sober, wild partying. We want to
share and discuss our experiences, show that alcoholism has many different faces and hear your stories, thoughts and questions. We would
like to share one of our conclusions with you: There is a solution.
