Democracy Lives! An anthology featuring contributions from students and staff at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences

The anthology "Democracy Lives!" is the result of a student writing contest held by Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences during the winter semester of 2025–26. The 21 student contributions offer diverse perspectives, creative approaches and personal reflections on the current state of our democratic society. These are supplemented by a further 12 contributions from faculty and staff at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences which were not part of the contest. A multifaceted dialogue emerges through essays, short stories, poems and other formats.
