Youth culture and open youth work must not be omitted - appeal to the Evangelical Deanery
The Darmstadt Greens are decisively speaking against a possible closure of the Huette youth center . The facility has been a central place for open child and youth work in the city center for over 60 years- with offers such as homework supervision, open meetings, holiday games or leisure trips. Evangelical Deanery of South Hesse is currently examining whether the facility should be closed permanently.
"The Huette not only offers young people low -threshold social offers and support , but is also a lively space for youth culture ," emphasizes Sandra Seeger , youth policy spokeswoman for the Greens. In particular, the rehearsal room , which is currently used seven youth bands
Greens warn of the loss of cultural infrastructure
Heiko Depner also warns of the consequences: "Especially at a time when social inequality and uncertainty gain weight and places of youth culture are lost, young people need places where they can feel seriously taken and develop ."
The Greens therefore appeal to the Evangelical Deanery to continue and to secure them in their social and cultural function. Central contact points are needed for children and adolescents - not only in the districts, but also in the heart of the city . "An established and committed facility like the huette must not disappear," concludes Depner.
