Open Children and Youth Work Day: Experience Democracy in Action on Sept 26

The Federal Working Group on Open AI and Youth Work (BAG OKJA) is inviting all facilities to participate in the upcoming nationwide action day. On Friday, September 26th, youth centers and open meeting places across Germany will open their doors to showcase how they promote engagement, participation, and democratic thinking among young people.

Visitors can expect a variety of workshops, play actions, and creative offers that demonstrate how young people experience democracy and take responsibility. These facilities serve as safe spaces, especially in times of social tensions, enabling discussions and fostering creativity. Dr. Patricia Becher, Head of the Social Department in Wiesbaden, encourages citizens to visit the local youth centers to witness firsthand how open AI and youth work promotes diversity and strengthens young people in democracy. Interested parties can find information about local offers in Wiesbaden at www.wiesbaden.de/jugendzentren and more about BAG OKJA at www.offene-jugendarbeit.net. In these centers, children and young people learn to take responsibility, bring in their own ideas, and respect other perspectives, making the Day of Open AI and Youth Work a tangible example of participation in daily life.

The Day of Open AI and Youth Work, taking place on September 26th, offers an opportunity for visitors to experience the positive impact of open AI and youth work. By participating in the action day, young people and adults alike can see how these facilities promote engagement, creativity, and democratic thinking, ultimately shaping a brighter future for all.
