Breitenau Mayor: Consultation hour for children and adolescents

Breitenau Mayor: Consultation hour for children and adolescents

In the Breitenau municipal office, a new chapter is opened, which particularly appeals to the young population. From October 3, local chief Robert Kwas (SPÖ) will offer consultation hours for children and adolescents every first Thursday of the month from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. This initiative was created from an encounter with a young resident who expressed the desire to set up an ice cream machine in the park. Although this wish could not be fulfilled, Kwas derived the idea of creating a direct communication option.

"It was important to me to explain why that was not possible," says Kwas. "I could feel that it felt valued by it." He now wants to convey this value to all young people: "I am sure that many good ideas or concerns have on the heart," says Kwas his anticipation for the upcoming discussions.

The place for these discussions is the newly renovated municipal office, where the interior is already completed. There are only a few small work left on the outside. Kwas reports on the improvements carried out: "We used new windows and renewed the entrance area." In addition, there is also a new social space with kitchen and sanitary facilities for the community team. Another highlight is the digital office at the entrance, which informs about news and events.

Robert Kwas is optimistic and hopes that the office hours will be a success. "It is important that our young people have a voice and can bring in their ideas," he emphasizes. At a time when many concerns often cannot even be brought up by young people, Kwas wants to be open to anyone who comes. It is important to him that the children and adolescents feel and appreciate in their community.

This new offer in Breitenau not only offers young people a platform to express their concerns, but also the municipal administration is given the opportunity to receive direct feedback on the reality of life of the young population. This could possibly form the basis for further projects and initiatives that respond to the needs of the community.

The upcoming office hours not only promise an opportunity to exchange ideas, but could also be found as a valuable instrument to strengthen the community and to promote young engagement. If you want to learn more about the developments and offers in Breitenau, you can inform here .
