A festival day full of ideas, attitudes, and lived futures
The second festival day of Think.Feel.Act brings together people in Bielefeld who not only talk about planetary justice but negotiate it through shared experiences. On July 3, 2026, a free program unfolds at the University of Bielefeld featuring workshops, discussions, readings, and lectures – dense, participatory, and clearly aimed at social change.
A festival with attitude and established tradition
Behind the future festival are the AG 10 of the Faculty of Educational Science at the University of Bielefeld and the Welthaus Bielefeld e.V. The format has grown from a participatory development process and makes a political statement: It connects science, practice, and the public into a festival experience that signifies climate crisis, social inequality, and democratic responsibility. A comprehensive program with around 90 events is planned for 2026, keeping the city of Bielefeld active in several locations.
A program that brings together thinking and feeling
The strength of the DFH festival is particularly evident on the 2nd festival day: The workshop PLURIVERSUM – Global South Impulse. Diversity as a Principle for the Future, the panel discussion Where is the University?, the conversation Against the Right (thinking and acting), the reading Just Futures and Real Utopias with Kübra Gümüşay, and the lecture About Courage and Climate Crisis with Carla Hinrichs create a dense multi-day experience with substantive depth. Here lies the special festival atmosphere: not a loud mainstage cult, but focused encounters, open debates, and a palpable sense of community.
Campus feeling instead of camping, open-air logic without a campsite
The festival thrives not on classic camping, but on the proximity of its locations and the academic infrastructure of the University of Bielefeld. The event takes place on campus at Universitätsstraße 25 and benefits from good connectivity, barrier-free access, and urban festival organization. Those who attend experience an intellectually charged open-air feeling in a broader sense: short distances, changing perspectives, lively discussions, and an atmosphere that oscillates between science and societal upheaval.
Who this festival is for
DFH is aimed at everyone who wants to negotiate the future not abstractly, but concretely. Students, initiatives, families, culture enthusiasts, and people with political interests will find a festival that brings together encounters, education, and engagement. The free formats make access low-threshold and open the space for a diverse audience.
Conclusion: A festival day that resonates
The second festival day of Think.Feel.Act promises intense impulses, smart conversations, and a festival atmosphere that goes far beyond classic entertainment. Anyone wanting to experience, discuss, and contemplate planetary justice should attend this day live on the campus of the University of Bielefeld.
