Jena Youth Forum: You can have your say & help decide

Youth Forum #2 - Let's talk about Jena - The Youth Forum enters its second round!

Youth Forum Jena : You are in demand again!

What is the Jena Youth Forum?

On September 25th we invite you to our 2nd Youth Forum at Kassablanca from 16.00 to discuss your concerns, topics and wishes for the city of Jena directly with the city administration.

No matter whether you have a project idea or a suggestion for improvement, whether you see a problem that should finally be solved - no matter what moves you, the Jena Youth Forum is exactly the right place to exchange ideas.

What good is that again?

To give administrative staff an insight into your needs and concerns. In return, you will gain an insight into the working methods of Jena's city administration. The focus of this evening at the Youth Forum is on the exchange of ideas, but we are all excited to see what will come out of this event!

All right - I'm in. So how exactly does the evening work?

You briefly present your topic on site, alone, with your friends, with whomever you like. It might take five minutes. During this time, you have the full attention of the city's decision-makers. The next topic is then presented. Similar topics are then assigned to themed tables, where the discussion and direct exchange with the relevant representatives of the city administration takes place. The results of these discussions are recorded by the table moderators.

What can I bring to the Jena Youth Forum?

In principle, you can bring anything that concerns the city administration. Cycle paths, public transport timetables, annoying bureaucracy, lack of space for your ideas. If it's important to you, then it's also a topic for the Jena Youth Forum.

When?
