Schools' Language Lessons for Children and Youth: A Listening Platform for Young Learners

In the city of Halle, young people have a unique chance to engage directly with city representatives, politicians, and free carriers every first Thursday of the month from 5 PM. This is all part of the Children and Youth Consultation Hour, an initiative aimed at giving young people a voice in city matters.

The Youth Welfare Committee Chairman, Philipp Pieloth, strongly advocates for young people to understand local politics, a sentiment supported by the curriculum. He encourages schools to register for an advance visit to a committee session, allowing students to gain firsthand experience in city politics and committees.

The Children and Youth Consultation Hour does not require any prior registration and takes place in the Youth Welfare Committee. It serves as a platform for young people to voice their concerns and ask questions about matters that affect them in Halle. The hour offers an opportunity for exchange before the committee, as emphasized by Pieloth.

Chairmen Philipp Pieloth, Uwe Kramer, and Katharina Brederlow lead the committees involved in the consultation hour. Interested schools can register for advance visits by emailing [email protected].

Pieloth also wants to allocate extra time for exchange before the committee to facilitate a better understanding of local politics. He emphasizes the importance of highlighting participation opportunities, such as the Children and Youth Consultation Hour, which is one of several opportunities for participation mentioned by him.

The consultation hour is a platform for young people to gain a better understanding of city politics and committees. It is held in the city of Halle and provides a valuable opportunity for young people to engage in discussions about their city's future.

While information about which schools have registered so far is not available, the initiative is a significant step towards encouraging young people to take an active role in shaping their city's future. The Chairmen have invited further schools to visit a committee session as an extracurricular offer within social studies lessons.

In conclusion, the Children and Youth Consultation Hour offers a valuable opportunity for young people in Halle to engage with city representatives and voice their opinions on matters that affect them.
