Pizza and politics: Jusos Ahrweiler discuss with Sabine Glaser!

Last week, a very special event was launched at the Gatsby at the marina in Oberwinter: The Jusos Ahrweiler invited people to “Pizza and Politics” on Friday, October 10th. This was a platform for political discussions in a relaxed atmosphere. The evening began at 6 p.m. and offered those present the opportunity to discuss current local political issues and contribute their own ideas. The exchange about the challenges that young people in the Ahrweiler district face was particularly popular. As a special guest, the Jusos were able to welcome the chairwoman of the Ahrweiler SPD district association and district councilor, Sabine Glaser, who encouraged the participants to bring fresh perspectives into politics. [rhein-ahr-anzeiger] reports on her inspiring role that evening.

Juso district chairwoman Hanna Trocha emphasized that politics not only has to be serious, but can also be fun. “Every opinion counts” – that was the message that was clearly felt at the event. The event aims to strengthen political and personal networking among participants and promote regional cooperation. Anyone interested in such formats can contact the Jusos Ahrweiler directly via email or Instagram so as not to miss future events [blick-aktuell].

Networking and exchange

The evening was accompanied by a lively discussion, which revolved around, among other things, the perspectives of young people and their role in local politics. It became clear that the Jusos are not only a forum for young people, but also serve as a bridge to other interest groups. Representatives of the Jusos from the neighboring district of Mayen-Koblenz were also present and enriched the discussions. Such meetings are of great importance in order to understand the various political currents in the network and to learn from each other.

For the Jusos and the participants, this was an excellent opportunity not only to debate politics, but also to build a network. Such events can be a valuable contribution to the political engagement of young people and to strengthening local democracy. These formats are not only informative, but also help participants to actively participate in the political discussion and raise their voices.

Political education and participation

Anyone who would like to engage more intensively with politics will also find a wide range of opportunities for political education. Simulation games like those offered by [bpb] are a wonderful tool for actively experiencing the mechanisms of local politics. Here, teenagers and young adults can slip into the roles of local politicians and members of youth associations in order to experience the decision-making processes up close. Such offers are important to make it easier to access politics and to get young people interested in the topic.

At a time when political participation is required more than ever, the Jusos Ahrweiler show with their event “Pizza and Politics” how meaningful and appealing the exchange on political topics can be. In doing so, you make a valuable contribution to political education and encourage many people to become active in local politics.
