Louis Klamroth

 

 

Louis Klamroth is “Germany’s youngest political talker”. He recently won the German Television Prize for the programme “Klamroths Konter” (n-tv), in which he regularly puts top politicians in the crossfire. Last year, together with two school friends, he also founded the digital discussion platform “Diskutier mit mir”. The aim of the initiative is to burst opinion bubbles and create room for political dialogue. The algorithm connects two people with contrary political opinions and lets them discuss political topics in 1:1 chats. Thus, 20,000 talks between dissenters took place before the last federal elections. Just in time for the state elections in Bavaria and Hesse, the app will be launched again and will fight discursive grievances where they arise with a version 2.0: Online.
