Ideas for the neighborhood are needed
The event starts at 3 p.m. Mayor Barbara Akdeniz and Planning Director Michael Kolmer will be in attendance.
Children and young people are encouraged to contribute their ideas and wishes for the further development of the forest colony. Various hands-on activities and participation stations are planned.
The SJD – Die Falken Darmstadt eV's "Das Rotzfreche SPIELMOBIL" (The Cheeky Playmobile) offers outdoor play activities on the sports field at the youth center. In addition, there are stations with participatory formats and a special program for young people.
All participants will receive a small surprise at the end.
The district is being further developed
The Waldkolonie district has been part of the urban development program "Social Cohesion" since 2025. The aim is to further improve open spaces, play areas and social infrastructure in the district.
The results of the participation process will be incorporated into an integrated urban development concept, which will serve as a basis for future projects.
Mayor Akdeniz emphasizes: "Children and young people must be allowed to have a say when it comes to their future."
