  • [01] 'Omnibus for Direct Democracy' in Greece

    The notions of democracy and direct dialogue will be the "passengers" of the "Omnibus for Direct Democracy", a German initiative traveling through the SE Europe, in cooperation with local Goethe Institutes. In its 10-week journey the bus will visit 20 cities and cover a distance of 8,000 km, initiating debates on social and cultural issues.

    In Greece, the bus will visit Thessaloniki (Sept.24-26 and Oct. 15-18), the archaeological site of Delphi (Sept. 27-28), Athens (Sept. 29-Oct.10), Leptokaria (Oct. 10-11) and Alexandroupolis Oct. 20).

    The "Omnibus for Direct Democracy" is a citizens' initiative established 22 years ago based on an idea by artist Joseph Beuys and is dedicated to the introduction of popular referendums on all levels of government focusing of the future collaboration of the people as regards freedom and self-determination.

    The double-decker bus visits roughly 100 German cities annually, organising public debates on issues such as referendums, the education system, ecology, Europe and the economic system.
