Co-Creating Our City - BarCamp Jugendbeteiligung

In the organizer's words:

What needs to happen so that ALL young people in Düsseldorf can participate politically? What information, spaces and opportunities are needed for youth participation to really work? We want to discuss this with you at the

BarCamp "Co-Creating Our City"

on June 27, 2025, starting at 5 pm
at the Haus der Jugend (Lacombletstraße 10, 40239 Düsseldorf)

In the Co-Creating Our City project, young people join forces with people from politics and administration to explore how youth participation can succeed. At the BarCamp of our final event, you will find out what we have already discovered in the project. Explore the opportunities for participation in Düsseldorf and contribute your opinions and ideas: What opportunities are there for young people to get involved politically and socially? Which participation formats work - and which are still missing? What role should schools play? How could local politics take place on social media?

Now it's up to you:

• Develop proposals for solutions! In open discussion rounds and interactive workshops, you will work with other participants on ideas for a city in which young people's visions are heard.
• Get into conversation with decision-makers! Take the opportunity to talk to representatives from politics and administration. Ask your questions, discuss your ideas and find out how change works at local level.
• Network with others! Get to know people with whom you can initiate change in Düsseldorf.

At the BarCamp, you help decide which topics are discussed. You can drop by spontaneously and contribute your ideas. It helps us with the planning if you register in advance: https://jugendring-duesseldorf.de/termin/barcamp-co-creating-our-city/

We look forward to exchanging ideas with you!
