The canton of Schaffhausen and the state of Baden-Württemberg maintain for many years a political, economic and social cooperation. The two regions have the ambition to share this border and successful partnership with new encounters and exciting shows with the visitors of the Expo.02.

The symbolic element of the day is a bridge. This centrepiece of the festive act will be built on the Grande Scène by learning carpenters and drawsmen from both countries. The bridge can also be found in the meditative programme of the Club Le Cargo and will be visualised in "Young Dreams".
