Democracy week in Herne: Young people shape their city!

Hölkeskampring 2, 44625 Herne, Deutschland - in Herne is an exciting week for children and adolescents: The "We in Herne- Democracy Week" will take place in the urban children's and youth facilities. This campaign runs from Monday, 21st to Friday, October 25, 2024, and puts the participation and promotion of democratic values in the foreground. The initiative is organized by young people of the future committee as well as employees of youth promotion and the child and youth parliament.

There are a variety of workshops for the participants that enable creative learning and active help. The focus is on the exchange and discussion about the city of Herne and its needs. Young people between the ages of six and 14 are invited to get involved in various activities that are guided by experienced lecturers.

diverse workshops for different age groups

The workshops are designed so that they cover different interests. In the Pluto district center, a dance and theater workshop is offered for everyone from the age of six. A puzzle adventure is held for the older children aged eight and over at the Hasenkamp adventure playground. Young people aged 14 and over can live out their creativity in the graffiti workshop on Heisterkamp on Herzogstrasse. Furthermore, there is a comic workshop in the H2Ö district center that is aimed at participants aged ten and over, while in the children's and youth center “Die Wache” film and photography for young people from the age of twelve are the focus. The end of the week is a music and band workshop in the youth club at the outdoor pool, which is open to children from the age of six.

A central element of the Democracy Week is the active examination of your own environment. The participants are invited to discuss what makes their city Herne and where they may need improvements. This also includes a visit to the Herne town hall, where you get an insight into the practical aspects of democracy through members of the child and youth parliament.

The crowning glory of the Democracy Week will take place on Friday, October 25, 2024, in the form of a festival in the H2Ö district center.
