Intel scandal in Magdeburg: What comes after two years of standstill?

Von WOM

Magdeburg is currently in the spotlight, as the plans for Intel resettlement will continue to be delayed. The company recently announced that the implementation will be postponed by two years. Of course, this also has an impact on local industry and the cityscape, and the topic remains omnipresent. Herbert Beesten, engineer and literary, uses this situation to discuss it in his event series "upward compatible? Industrial culture in Magdeburg".

In one of the upcoming events on October 7th in the city library, he will discuss the psychological effects of the current situation together with psychology professor Thomas Klich. Beesten plans to present excerpts from his Intel blog and to talk to those present about the mood in the city. The opinions on the Intel theme are split, there is both disappointment and some of the laughter and mock, which illustrates the complexity of the topic.

demonstration for Intel resettlement

During the event, the upcoming demonstration of the Intel Mania Association could also be discussed. This demands the immediate implementation of the project and would like to know from those responsible in the city and country what measures are taken to make the Intel House a success model despite the current economic uncertainties. The demonstration will be an opportunity to bundle the voices of the citizens for a quick course of project.

In his research,

Beesten also found that the discussion about Intel not only concerns industry = decision, but also raises far -reaching thoughts on the future of Magdeburg. At an earlier appointment, the focus was on the topic of welcome culture, in which various guests shared different perspectives on integration in the city.

So Ali Sidikou Mamane, a gastronomy professional who announced his experience as a migrant. He relies on personal help to welcome newcomers to the city. Through small gestures, such as a friendly "Juten Tach", he wants to build bridges and create rooms -promoting rooms.

Ansgar Hörsting, a pastor and Neu-Magdeburger, reported on his positive experiences with the welcome culture on international trips. This illustrates how important it is to share such experiences in order to strengthen awareness of a lived culture of openness, be it in worship or in everyday life.

cultural exchange as a key to integration

Another example of successful integration in Magdeburg is the work of Alejandro Fernandez Calderon, who has launched a community with the passion for salsa. This includes people of different backgrounds who find each other through music and dance. While he initially had difficulty speaking the German language, the common interests made it possible for him to reduce fears and build relationships.

Through these different perspectives, it can be seen that the Intel resettlement is not just an economic project, but also raises deeper social issues. The commitment of the citizens and the diverse culture of the city could be key factors to master the challenges of the future. For more information, See current reporting on www.volksstimme.de .
