Help shape: Citizen dialogues in Bavaria for a strong community

Help shape: Citizen dialogues in Bavaria for a strong community

The Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Homeland has launched an exciting initiative called “Heimatdialog.Bayern”. This platform aims to clarify important questions affecting social cohesion. It's about how communication between politics, administration and citizens can be improved. A central concern is to promote understanding for each other and to keep the values, culture and Bavarian traditions alive.

Another topic that is addressed as part of the local dialogue is demographic change. This refers to the changes in the age structure of the population and the associated challenges. The question of how we can remain a strong and connected society in the future is at the heart of the discussions. The citizens of Bavaria are invited to actively participate in this dialogue.
