WE PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON CREATIVE BUREAUCRATS AND SHOWCASE BUREAUCRACY AT ITS BEST
The Creative Bureaucracy Festival puts excellent, creative solutions to community issues and the people behind them in the limelight. Everything from small adjustments to big visions for the future! The festival represents a shift from a “no because” culture to a “yes if” culture that embraces experimentation and new ideas. In doing so, the festival aims to refresh the reputation of public administrations and appeal to imaginative new talent. In 2025, the festival returns with the Digital Kick-Off Day in March and the live festival on 5 June, welcoming almost 2,000 creative bureaucrats in Berlin.
Vision:
Empowered by a strong administration, we uphold the democracy of the future.
Mission:
We use unconventional formats and creative elements to create spaces where bureaucrats…
- …appreciate and connect with each other in trust,
- …discuss relevant and urgent topics with key stakeholders,
- …learn from and inspire one another,
- …experience the magic and potential of the public sector.
The growing creative bureaucracy community brings the festival spirit into the world of administration and beyond – thereby achieving impact, effectiveness and accountability.
