As part of the high-profile campaign before the town hall reception, we will be carrying nine scarves (each carried by 8 people) in a procession to the town hall market. The scarves have previously been colorfully painted by the participants in a preparatory public campaign and each contain a letter.

Together, these letters form the slogan “we are one!”

The jumping cloths are accordingly laid out on the ground of the Rathausmarkt and then raised to chest height in a specific choreography (we), lifted upwards over the head with a swing (are) while the 8 people run towards each other and into the middle (one), producing an inflated balloon above them. The words are shouted. Four partners from Hamburg and four from Tanzania will each hold a scarf together. Afterwards, the scarves are again stretched to chest height and the procession moves happily in serpentine lines to a new action point on the market square, where the action is repeated. At the end of the procession, the scarves are placed on the ground again according to the slogan and all participants and guests form a circle around the slogan.

Tuten und Blasen will provide musical accompaniment with African jazz rhythms and get everyone in a festive mood.

And an electric tricycle called “bajaji” will offer short rides.
