“Girls in Politics”: New project promotes young women in Villach
Published
A new political education project called “Girls in Politics” is launching in Villach. The program is specifically aimed at young women and girls between the ages of 14 and 18. The goal of the initiative is to provide participants with a direct insight into the world of local politics.
Through the project, the young people are to learn how political processes function and what opportunities they have to actively help shape their own living environment. The primary focus is on lowering barriers and sparking interest in social engagement. The organizers want to show that young voices are important in politics.
During the project, participants will have the opportunity to learn firsthand how decisions are made in the city. They can ask questions, connect with politicians, and thus develop a better understanding of democratic processes. The program therefore offers a practical supplement to political education in schools.
The project in Villach is an important step toward getting more young people excited about political topics. By specifically supporting girls, it also aims to contribute to equality in politics. Interested young people can now find out more about the details and the schedule of the initiative.
