Jugendforum Nordrhein-Westfalen „Stimme(n) der Jugend“

In 2026, the Deutsche Gesellschaft e. V. will once again organize four nationwide youth forums under the title “Stimme(n) der Jugend” (Voices of Youth), funded by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the BürgerStiftung Höxter, and in cooperation with the State Agency for Political Education of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At these forums, teenagers and young adults aged 16 to 35 will have the opportunity to discuss issues shaping the future.

On September 29, 2026, starting at 2:00 p.m. (until 5:30 p.m., followed by a small reception), we cordially invite you to the Historic City Hall (Council Chamber, Weserstr. 11, 37671 Höxter) in Höxter for the North Rhine-Westphalia Youth Forum, where we will address the following three topics in a World Café format:

• World Café 1: Spaces for Young People – Wishes, Ideas, and Perspectives
• World Café 2: Mobility and Routes in Urban and Rural Areas—Balancing Needs and Availability
• World Café 3: School and Education as the Foundation for a Professional Future

Each participant can attend two of the three World Cafés offered.

Anyone who wants to help shape how our society addresses important issues for the future—here in Höxter and in Germany as a whole—will have a unique opportunity at the North Rhine-Westphalia Youth Forum “Voices of Youth”: to have a say, contribute ideas, and network. Join us!

Free admission. Please register by specifying two of the three World Café topics offered (group registrations are also possible); send any questions or comments to: zukunft@deutsche-gesellschaft-ev.de

The event is being held in collaboration with the City of Höxter and regional (media) partners.
