Young people are engaging with climate policy and future issues
The youth education center and the district youth services of Groß-Gerau organized an educational trip to Berlin during the Easter holidays. Sixteen young people aged 17 to 26 participated under the motto "Great Climate!?".
Climate issues in focus
The participants engaged intensively with issues surrounding the climate crisis, climate policy, and sustainable urban development. The aim was to gain insights into different perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of societal challenges.
Diverse program in the capital
The program included a city tour focusing on urban ecology and a visit to the Futurium. There, participants gained insights into future scenarios and current research approaches.
A conversation with activists from Fridays for Future also provided space for discussions about civic engagement and climate protection.
Political exchange in the Bundestag
The trip also included political insights: The group met with Member of Parliament Jörg Cezanne at the German Bundestag. The discussion focused on current political developments and strategies in the area of climate protection.
Positive feedback from participants
Besides the program itself, there was time to explore the city. Participants particularly emphasized the increase in knowledge and the new perspectives they gained.
With such initiatives, the district strengthens the political education of young people and promotes exchange on key future issues.
