How does good politics work? An evening about democracy and generations
What defines good politics, and how can democracy remain capable of learning in the face of ecological crises, digitalization, economic globalization, and authoritarian tendencies? In the reading and discussion with Reinhard and Alexander Loske at the Democracy Store in Koblenz, political experience meets the perspective of a younger generation.
Father and son in political dialogue
At the center is the joint book How does good politics work? A cross-generational perspective. Reinhard Loske, political scientist, sustainability researcher, and former politician, brings years of experience from academia and political practice. His son Alexander Loske works as a politics teacher and is involved in youth work. Together, they explore the significance of knowledge, values, and social responsibility for a future-oriented democracy.
Between climate crisis, digitalization, and citizen engagement
The evening combines reading and discussion with a political classification of current challenges. The focus is on the learning ability of democratic institutions, the relationship between political representation and citizen engagement, and the handling of populism, hate speech, and superficial debates. The cross-generational perspective provides a unique access to questions that affect both young and older people alike.
Democracy Store Koblenz as a place for exchange
The Democracy Store in KREATOP sees itself as an open place for encounters, participation, and collaborative design. The event is part of the Koblenz Weeks of Democracy 2026 and the Action Weeks Science Against Fascism. The event management emphasizes low-threshold accessibility: Admission is free, no registration is required, and all interested parties are welcome.
A new generational contract in conversation
Reinhard and Alexander Loske ask how political decisions can be more aligned with future interests, intergenerational justice, and the preservation of natural livelihoods. Their conversations lead to perspectives on a new generational contract and on democratic forms of participation that do not shift responsibility but organize it collaboratively.
The event experience thrives on concentrated thoughts, open exchange, and an atmosphere where different life and educational experiences come together. Those who want to not only observe democracy but think critically about its development will experience an inspiring evening with political depth and social relevance at the Democracy Store in Koblenz.
Conclusion
The reading and discussion with Reinhard and Alexander Loske offer orientation in a time of profound social changes. Visitors can expect a cross-generational dialogue about knowledge, values, responsibility, and the future of democracy.
