Baden-Württemberg Holds 'Lange Nacht der Demokratie' on Oct 2 2026
On 2 October 2026, the German state of Baden‑Württemberg will host the second edition of the "Lange Nacht der Demokratie" (Long Night of Democracy). The event is timed for the eve of German Unity Day and aims to promote democracy education and civic participation across the state.

The event is coordinated by a partnership that includes the Alliance for Participation (Allianz für Beteiligung e.V.), the Democracy Centre Baden‑Württemberg, the Church‑based Adult‑Education Working Group, the State Youth Council, the State Centre for Political Education and the Adult‑Education Association. Funding comes from the Baden‑Württemberg Stiftung, the Ministry for Social Affairs, Labour and Health, the Ministry of Culture, the Alliance for Participation and the State Centre for Political Education.
