Future for Tegernheim's youth: Committee debates important topics!
An important meeting of the Committee for Youth, Family, Seniors and Club Affairs will take place in Tegernheim on September 25, 2025. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the fire station at Ringstrasse 40. There are several key topics on the agenda, including the approval of the minutes of the last meeting, concepts for promoting youth participation in the community and a population projection until 2034. A non-public meeting will follow the meeting.
Promoting youth participation is a priority that is important not only at the local level. According to information from the Federal Youth Ministry (BMFSFJ), youth participation will be promoted through the National Action Plan for Child and Youth Participation (NAP) until 2025. The Federal Government is committed to actively involving young people in decision-making processes and enabling them to have direct, visible participation. The aim is to create framework conditions that correspond to equal treatment of young people in participation processes. These initiatives are supported by dialogue forums and youth audits, as [BMFSFJ](https://www.bmbfsfj.bund.de/bmfsfj/themen/kinder-und-jugend/jugendbildung/jugendstrategie/jugend participation) reports.
Recommendations for youth participation
The NAP produced a number of recommendations that form the basis for future measures. This includes the development of a central platform that provides information on participation offers, as well as the introduction of clear legal regulations for the inclusion of young people in relevant decisions. Barrier-free access to such offerings is also required to ensure that all young people can participate without obstacles.
As part of this strategy, the Federal Competence Center for Child and Youth Participation (KomKJB) supports cross-departmental collaboration. It offers advice and networking to promote exchange between different actors in the area of participation. In addition, initiatives such as “Strong Children and Youth Parliaments” strengthen the competence of local parliaments in order to intensify the participation of young people. A youth editorial team with the title “young enough” also helps to communicate relevant political developments to young people in an appealing way.
The upcoming YouthPoliticsDays offer another platform for dialogue between young people and the federal government. This creates the opportunity to seek direct exchange and raise concerns directly with decision-makers. In this context, all newly acquired knowledge from the dialogue process will be comprehensively recorded in a final documentation that contains recommendations for all political levels.
The Tegernheim municipality's commitment to promoting youth participation is a step that is in line with these overarching goals and is intended to strengthen young people's opportunities to help shape and participate. The committee's meeting on September 25 will provide an important forum for these issues and set the course for youth participation in the region. Further details on the topics of the meeting can be found on the municipality's website: Tegernheim.
