Refurbishment of the Nidda youth center: A new room for the youth!

The future of the youth centers is on the brink! A comprehensive renovation of the youth center is currently underway in Nidda, which is expected to be reopened in autumn 2026. The building, which has not experienced any major renovations for many years, will be completely renovated for around two million euros. Geertje Adjinschi, the department head for social affairs, said that numerous defects, including outdated heating and sanitary facilities as well as fire protection problems, have to be resolved in order to offer young people a safe and appealing point of contact that acts as a second home during their activities. During the construction work, the range of leisure activities is maintained by the Kinder-Mobil Nikimo, such as fnp.de

petition for more speed!

The youth center "Alte Post" in Emden has been waiting for the conversion for years, which has been postponed countless times. According to the volunteer event team, which has been active in the Alte Post for a long time, insufficient infrastructure and lack of event opportunities for the local cultural and music scene are catastrophic. After the ventilation has been lost and the lack of fire protection, it has been quiet for some time. The volunteers criticize the constant delays and in a petition demand more clarity about the steps to complete the renovations. They emphasize that the youth center is not only an important meeting point for young people, but also plays a central role in cultural life, and call for the city of Emden prioritize the renovation in order to revive the old mail, such as change.org executed.

The persistent difficulties around the youth centers illustrate how necessary it is to create spaces for creative and social activities. While Nidda is planning its renovation, it remains to be seen how soon the Alte Post in Emden can be available for public events. The voices of the young people and the committed volunteers demand loudly for change and support!
