This winter, the twin city of Frankfurt (Oder)/Słubice will once again be transformed into a place of encounter and pre-Christmas community: the Living Advent Calendar is entering a new round. From December 1 to 24, associations, initiatives, stores and institutions will be organizing small, atmospheric events every day – bilingual, open and free of charge.
We are looking for creative hosts who would like to fill a little door with life - with music, craft activities, readings or other ideas around the theme of Christmas. The aim is to make the diversity of the German-Polish neighborhood and traditions visible.
Idea? Then apply now!
Any interested parties can submit their proposals until Tuesday, 14 October 2025 via the digital application form.
After the application deadline, the organization team will review all submissions received and put together a programme of events for the Advent season.
Language support? No problem!
Bilingual design is part of the project. The organization team supports the implementation in German and Polish.
