New operator for the Poly youth center: Diakonie takes over in Bad Düben!

The Poly youth center in Bad Düben will be under new management from January 2025. The Diakonisches Werk Delitzsch/Eilenburg takes over the sponsorship of the youth center from the Workers' Welfare (AWO) district association North Saxony, which the youth center has operated since 2005. This decision results from a tender for the district of North Saxony, in which both carriers presented their concepts in front of a jury.

The jury, which consisted of representatives of the city council groups, assessed the concepts based on a point system, whereby the result fell in favor of the diakonia. Bad Dübens Mayor Astrid Münster hopes for a new beginning for the youth center by changing. The AWO regrets the decision and describes it as a painful loss. The managing director of AWO Nordsachsen, Marko Schreiber, explained that they fought hard for the sponsorship, but emphasized that the AWO will continue to remain an important partner in the social field.

planned developments in the youth center

The managing director of the Diakonie, Tobias Münscher-Paulig, will present details of the planned content work in the youth center Poly in January. The handover from the AWO to Diakonie is planned for mid -January. The Diakonie has set itself the goal of reopening the youth center as soon as possible and continuing child and youth work.

According to the current information that AWO Nordsachsen provided, the offer of the Poly children's and youth center includes a variety of social and pedagogical activities. Among other things, it offers play options such as card and board games, table tennis and darts as well as various adventure education projects. Regular opening times are Tuesday to Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., whereby there are different times during the holidays.

The AWO Nordsachsen has also increasingly paid attention to the expansion of social pedagogical offers in the region as part of its previous sponsorship, which is reflected in various leisure and educational projects, such as sporting events and thematic project days.
