Dear committed people, dear partners,
In 2026, we will launch the new “1000 bricks – we are building the future” campaign with you!
One stone alone moves little – but a thousand stones build the future: from May to September 2026, a walk-in “House of the Future” will be created at several locations in Saxony-Anhalt, built from several thousand painted stones (cardboard boxes). Each stone will be creatively designed by schoolchildren, volunteers, associations and institutions – with wishes, images and messages for the society of tomorrow. The House of the Future will have a diameter of around 25 meters and a wall height of 2.5 meters.
The house will be located in central locations in Magdeburg, Stendal, Zeitz, Quedlinburg and Halle for two days at a time and will offer space for exchange, inspiration and collective thinking about our future both inside the house and on the square in front of it.
On these two days, a colorful program of hands-on activities, workshops, talks, art events and participation formats for young and old will take place around the Haus der Zukunft.
And we need you for that!
We invite associations, initiatives, organizations, artists and committed individuals to join our event – with their own content contribution, a creative action or an inspiring hands-on offer (please no pure information stands). You are welcome to include anything from speeches on a specific future topic to workshops and performances.
The aim is for us to work together in a creative way on the question: What should our society look like tomorrow – and how do we shape it today?
We are all building blocks of an open society based on solidarity. The future doesn’t just happen – it is created where people meet, share ideas and take responsibility.
