Children learn democracy: Mayor Eislöffel attends a garden school!

Reichenthal, Österreich - In Reichenthal, an exciting warning vest check took place at the elementary school shortly before Christmas. Mayor Karin Kampelmüller and the civil protection officer Josef Tröbinger were on site to motivate the school beginners to wear warning vests in their daily way to school. In fact, half of the first graders wore these security vests, which were distributed by the police. As a small reward, the hard -working students received a coloring book from the civil protection association and a Naschsackerl from the mayor. The rest of the children can also look forward to a coloring book, while a follow -up inspection by the class teacher Helga Schwentner is due to further promote the efforts, as the Meinverbäck website reported.

In another exciting educational mission, the mayor of Dinslaken, Michaela Eislöffel, invited third classes of the garden school into the council hall. The occasion was the presentation of the newly published painting book "understand the town hall". On this occasion, the mayor read the children and explained the most important aspects of urban life and political processes. The students were also allowed to see the mayor chain and received a tour of the town hall. The coloring books that live through funding of the project "Democracy!" Financed should help to strengthen the youth education in questions of democracy, as was given on the city of Dinslaken.

Mayor Eislöffel emphasized the importance of familiarizing children with democratic values ​​at an early stage. In times of political change, it is essential that the younger people understand how they can be integrated into decision -making processes and that their opinions count. Thus, both events, both in Reichenthal and Dinslaken, set important accents for the security and political awareness of the next generations.
