Königstein is looking for young voices: Be part of the new youth council!

A call that invites young voices into the political landscape - this is the message that the city of Königstein sends to its young people. The youth council Hochtaunuskreis invites everyone between the ages of 13 and 21 to actively participate in planning and decision-making processes. As reports [Taunus Nachrichten] (https://www.taunus-nachrichten.de/koenigstein/koenigstein/sei-dabei-beim-jugendrat-koenigstein-koen-ko--dimm- ID18640.html), the young people can enforce their interests here through their own projects. This not only strengthens the community, but also promotes understanding between the generations.

The youth council, which was launched in September 2024, works non -partisan and independent. Two delegates from each municipality represent the concerns of young people and bring them into the political discussion. The next step in this important matter takes place on Wednesday, July 3, at 6 p.m. if an event will take place to select the Königstein delegates. The exact location is still announced, registration is required. If you have any questions, the city's youth department is available at jugendarbeit@koenigstein.de or by phone at 06174 202-310.

youth participation as an opportunity

The advantages of youth participation are diverse. Above all, it not only makes it easier to help shape her own living environment, but also contributes to improving the quality of life for all young people. The city of Königstein not only wants to give space to this commitment, but also draw attention to the importance of political participation. As koenigstein.de, it is the goal of giving young people to a hearing and actively integrating them into decision-making processes. This commitment can even lead to young people on their political path "learn democracy" and thus acquire important skills such as teamwork and communication skills.

But challenges do not fail to do so. It is important to reach all young people, including groups of educational groups and those from rural areas. It is therefore important to design the formats of participation in such a way that marginalized perspectives are heard. [Political Education NRW] (https://www.politic-bildung.nrw/themen/ Vielifelig-engagiert/jugendlächtung) emphasizes that sustainable and, including youth participation, adapted to various needs requires to use the full potential of youth participation.

Königstein in the sign of the youth

The city of Königstein could therefore establish itself as a pioneer for a lively youth culture that takes its young citizens seriously and offers them a platform. A separate youth participation project is also planned for 2026, in which young people can develop their own participation format. So you can not only bring your ideas, but also take responsibility and actively shape your view of things.

Time is forced, dear young people - take the opportunity to raise your voice and influence the future of your city! Königstein counts on you!
