Expanded Youth Group Championing Greater Youth Involvement in Decision-Making Processes

In a significant development, the current city council is advocating for the establishment of a Municipal Children and Youth Office. This office, proposed by Council Member Lukas Kresser, is intended to expand and coordinate municipal children and youth participation.

During the June meeting of the Youth Council (YC), Kresser's proposal for a 50% position in the Municipal Children and Youth Office was unanimously accepted. The name of the youth representative with the 50% position in the city council is Holger Jankovsky, and his position will be officially considered in the city council's budget discussion.

The primary task of the proposed office, as outlined by Kresser, is to conduct central and decentralized youth forums in the city and its districts. This move aims to provide a platform for children and young people to express their concerns without the need for them to go through an election process to the YC.

Kresser also emphasizes the potential benefits of various participation formats, suggesting a strengthening of cooperation with schools and carriers of youth work to incorporate the needs of the city's children and youth into municipal politics.

The Department III has included the 50% position for the Municipal Children and Youth Office in the upcoming budget debates in the fall. However, the specific details about the office, such as its funding, staffing, and location, are not yet provided.

It's worth noting that the election of the next Youth Council has recently ended. The advocacy for a Municipal Children and Youth Office is part of the current council's budget debate.

The Municipal Children and Youth Office, if established, is presumably intended to support children and youth in the community. The article does not specify the geographical location or the name of the council or the YC in question.

The article is archived on the website, and some information may no longer be current. Nonetheless, this proposal marks a significant step towards increased youth participation in municipal politics and decision-making processes.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
