Contributing ideas, having a say and helping to shape things. In Rastatt, the voice of young people is not only heard, it also carries weight. Since 2017, Rastatt has had a youth delegation whose work is governed by the youth participation guidelines. The youth delegation advises the city and the municipal council on issues relevant to young people, organizes its own events and, as the mouthpiece of Rastatt's young people, brings the wishes and concerns of their peers into city politics.
Want to join in? Anytime!
Interested young people between the ages of 14 and 20 who live in Rastatt and want to stand up for the interests of young people in Rastatt can take part.
The youth delegation is re-established every year in October or November.
Meetings are held regularly once a month in plenary sessions, while the various project and working groups on topics such as the combined swimming pool, youth café and LGBTQ+ meet as required. Review of the 2022/2023 working year (PDF) (1.2 MB).
Anyone who would like to join can do so at any time. It is also possible to join the youth delegation during the current working year.
The Rastatt Youth Summit
At the end of each school year, the youth delegation organizes the Rastatt Youth Summit, to which all Rastatt residents between the ages of 14 and 21 are invited.
At the youth summit, the youth delegation presents the results of its work, invites discussion and collects new topics that are important to young people in Rastatt. The results of the discussions are then incorporated into the further work of the youth delegation.
