Last weekend, we were present at the 20th music and cultural festival of Bremen's Neustadt district, SummerSounds. We wish you a happy 20th birthday!
Rotunda of Vision Culture – place for exchange, networking and getting to know each other
We were there again this year with our mobile culture vehicle, and our stage was used by our community projects. Vinata Bhagwat brought Indian culture to the Neustadt and danced across the square in front of the mobile culture vehicle. Charly Medrano and his Bolivian dance group danced for interested visitors, and afterwards, bachata could be learned at a dance class held by the same group.
Anyone who strolled past the Kulturmobil also saw the community's project stalls and was able to try samples at Anna Udoh's „Umami Snack Bar“, taste mushroom patties at Ronny Claßen's „Neighboorshrooms“ and find out about sewing classes at Angelika Erbacher's „NAEH Vision“. In addition, Tamar Reseck was on site to provide information about her seminars and coaching sessions. At the „Idyllium“ project stall run by Maria Velez, visitors learned about her coaching for women, based on the fundamentals of bodywork, neurobiology, cycles and behavioural change.
From the SummerSounds press release: Summer, sunshine and a whole lot of euphoria – the 20th anniversary of SummerSounds was perfect: over 40,000 festival fans enjoyed themselves in the best weather in the rolling green Neustadtswallanlagen park. „This hugely successful anniversary festival is truly a gift for us...“, rejoices production manager Maximilian Dietze, „...a big thank you to the super-dedicated team“. Three days, six venues, over 20 live acts, plus numerous participants with inspiring info stands, workshops and colourful interactive activities for the kids: a multifaceted anniversary programme delighted people of all ages. The SummerFriends, the Spanish tapas bar Muchos Mas, the Neustädter Drittel Bar, the JazzClub of the Bremen Musicians„ Initiative and Visionskultur also made SummerSounds 2025 unforgettable. The pop-up store from “Defibrillator Secondhand„, the SummerArt exhibition and, for the first time, the creative bonus market featuring arts and crafts and a flea market were real crowd pullers. “Our new SummerSunday went down really well, a great festival finale", raves Carina Henkel, the new district manager for Neustadt, who organised SummerSounds together with Astrid-Verena Dietze.
Kulturmobil is not only a stage – it's also a retreat for our coach café
From the SummerSounds press releaseThere was also plenty to discover at SummerSounds: Visionskultur, a startup sponsor, presented eleven founders with exciting business ideas. In the „Coaching Café“, visitors could receive advice on topics including stress management and women's issues.
This time, for the first time, we offered our coaches in the vision culture community a format of their own: the Coach Café!
In the Coach Café, over 11 coaches shared their knowledge in compact sessions – ranging from voice and presentation coaching to career and impact consulting, systemic coaching, coaching for mothers, highly sensitive people, those affected by endometriosis, and more.
Those present were: Arthur Hentzsch (Thambree Speech Coach), Carlotta Mettin (Femkultur), Celine Rohlfsen (Impact Career Coaching), Timo Fuchs (Fuchstraining), Fabienne von Loesch (Success Heroes), Kim Braukhane (Endometriosis Coaching), Maria Velez (Idyllium), Robert Sainovici (Komm in deine Kraft!), Viona Feulner (Sensifi), Stella Milo (evo Coaching) and Karin Tanger (Visionskultur Startup Coaching).
From the SummerSounds press release: A delightful, feel-good atmosphere and peaceful harmony among all generations and cultures were palpable everywhere. A very special thank you goes to all partners who made this unique anniversary festival possible.
We'd love to join in on that and say a huge thank you to our community projects and all the visitors who took advantage of the space for dialogue and networking. Of course, we're already looking forward to being back in action for the next SummerSounds in 2026.
