Children's and youth budget: Ideas for 5000 € funding wanted!

In Steglitz-Zehlendorf, 5000 euros will be made available for the equipment of schools and youth clubs. This money is to be actively used by children and young people on site to implement their own ideas and suggestions. It is an exciting initiative that gives young people the opportunity to actively shape their surroundings and bring their needs into decision -making.

The children's and youth budget is particularly important because it gives the votes of youth weight. This year, children and adolescents can promote four suggestions to beautify the schoolyards, with each of these suggestions can receive up to 200 euros. In addition, there are the opportunity to get up to 600 euros each for seven innovative ideas from the areas of youth clubs, parks and public places. This opens up many creative design options and calls on the participants to look outside the box.

collection of ideas and coordination

Registration for participation in this process is possible until September 22, 2024. If you have any questions or need support to submit your ideas, you can contact the Steglitz-Zehlendorf (Kijubsz) children's and youth office at any time by phone or by email. The contact details can easily be found on the official website, which has been specially set up to support this initiative.

The decision -making process will take place from October 7th to 9th, 2024, and everyone who is interested in participating receives a link to the survey from the Kijubsz. After sending and examining all projects, young people are entitled to give their votes and thus actively intervene in the design of their environment.

importance of the initiative

The importance of this initiative extends beyond the financial aspect. It promotes teamwork and creativity among young people and strengthens the sense of community. By getting the opportunity to present and coordinate your suggestions, the young citizens learn that their opinions and ideas count. This is a valuable learning process in the development of responsibility and self -confidence.

Parents and teachers are invited to support their children and to accompany them in preparing their ideas. This not only enriched the result of the projects, but also promoted understanding of democratic processes. Together, a positive and sustainable change for the environment in Steglitz-Zehlendorf can be brought about.

For many children and adolescents, this will be an opportunity to show their strengths and become active partners of their community. In view of the budget situation in many schools and public institutions, every initiative is of such great importance to give fresh impulses how public spaces can be designed and used.
