Young and committed: Annual reception in Bückeburg with Amelie Marie Weber!

Things are going haywire in Bückeburg: On Thursday, September 25th, the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Schaumburg-Lippe invites you to its traditional annual reception. Visitors can expect not only a festive atmosphere around the city church, but also an inspiring contribution from Amelie Marie Weber, the well-known journalist and Tagesschau presenter, who will present the celebratory speech entitled “Together for the Future – Hope is a Generational Affair”. Schaumburger Wochenblatt reports that the event starts at 5 p.m. and is accessible free of charge to anyone interested is.

Weber's speech will address the role of the young generation in times of climate change, war and digital challenges. Especially given the current fears that plague many young people - be it climate change or geopolitical conflicts. A recent youth study shows that 63% of young people see the climate crisis as an existential threat, while 81% are concerned about the expansion of the war in Ukraine. Dealing with these topics is urgently needed, and Weber is not afraid to delve deeply into the matter with her book “Generation Hope,” which will also be the focus of the evening. Kulturkaufhaus

An evening full of interaction

After the speech there will be an open autograph session, which will allow those present to talk to Weber in person. Here they can exchange their experiences and views. The evening promises not only impulses, but also active togetherness.

A highlight of the evening will certainly be the honoring of over 100 committed young people who have excelled in various areas such as church, fire brigade and sport. Regional Bishop Dr. Oliver Schuegraf will emphasize the importance of youth visibility and responsibility - a topic that is particularly relevant at the moment as a majority of young people do not feel taken seriously. Many express concerns about social inequality and economic insecurities and expect more support and willingness to act from the older generation. Zeit

Have a conversation together

After the official part of the evening, there will be an open get-together in the churchyard where physical well-being will be taken care of. Grilled food, also in a vegan version, and refreshing drinks are on the menu. DJ Snatch will create the right atmosphere with his music. This mixture of celebratory speech and relaxed encounter promotes exchange between young and old and shows how important such a platform is for the community.

Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that the concerns of young people must be taken seriously. Looking into the future must not be characterized by pessimism. Those present are invited to actively participate in the discussion about a better future. As the polls show, the generation is not ready to let their voices go unheard; She has clear ideas and demands: more climate protection, social justice and an education system that promotes equal opportunities. Human dignity is inviolable - we must keep this in mind for future generations.
