In times when borders are are closed, territories are taken and walls are built, tolerant people from all over the world come together and unite on the streets of Zurich – it’s Street Parade. A community wants to dance, laugh, flirt and celebrate the joy of life – for peace, joy, generosity and tolerance. Cross-generational and open-hearted, these values of the Street Parade are lived out in dance at the largest techno event in the world in a dancing way.

Fast-moving events, also influenced by social media, make us impatient, naïve and vulnerable.THINK. – Knowledge is the yield of thoughts, and thoughts are the key for a peaceful coexistence of our cultures, no matter to which religion, skin color, origin or sexual orientation people belong.
