Women's power in Mecklenburg: 2nd women's festival inspired for tour!

Ludwigslust, Deutschland - A warm welcome for everyone who wants to be at the top! On July 3, 2025, the second women's festival Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will take place in Ludwigslust, which attracts around 100 women for personal and professional development with the exciting topic of “leadership-future impulses”. The event is divided into workshops, lectures and instruments for advice from experts who support the participants in shaping and improve their own leadership skills.

A special highlight of the festival is the possibility of hearing the experience of company founders, who are often faced with numerous challenges on their way. Since the first event, not much has changed in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as far as the numbers are concerned: 34 percent of managers are still women in the country and this value is 33 percent in the private sector. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania cuts off well in the country comparison; Only in Saxony there is a higher female presence in management positions, such as [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/Mecklenburg-Vorpommern/westmecklenburg/fuer-frauen-in-füehrungspositionen-festival-in-ludwigslust ,Mvregioschin-362.hml).

diverse formats for diverse challenges

The festival is organized by FIM e.V. in cooperation with the nationwide cross-mentoring program Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the business development agency Südwestmecklenburg. The focus is on the challenges of the changing world of work, which are particularly important for women. What distinguishes a successful manager? How do you design optimal work-life balance in a demanding environment? These and many other questions are dealt with in the different formats.

Among the speakers are women from different regions of Germany who present their perspectives and tips from the nationwide economy. From practical exchange formats to panel discussions, the palette is colorful and is intended to help the participants to rethink their own management approach and actively shape their role in companies. According to further education-mv.de there is the opportunity for everyone to register and be part of this inspiring event.

The importance of female leadership

But why are such events important? Initial results from analyzes on workplace culture show that the proportion of female managers correlates directly with the successful corporate culture. According to [Great Place to Work] (https://greatplacetowork.de/blog/frauen-in-wie- company-company-Persporten-fur-weibliche-Leader-schaffen/), women in management positions often feel less support, which is also related to a lack of female role models and mentors. This discrepancy requires targeted measures to create equal opportunities and an inclusive work environment in which women can develop their skills.

In such a reform-friendly area as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where women in management positions represent a challenge for economic and social interaction, festivals such as this can contribute to coping with existing clichés. Women report on their ways, challenges and successes, which inspires young talents and interested parties to also take responsibility in leadership roles.

The festival in Ludwigslust is therefore not only a platform for exchange and learning, but also a necessary step in the right direction for an equal future in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania work world.
