Girls in Politics: Ten Girls Experience the Political Everyday Life of a Mayor
Published
Ten girls from the 2nd grade of LWBFS-Kleinraming have gained insight into the work of politics for one day. They accompanied Mayor Annemarie Wolfsjäger in her daily work and were able to see directly how politics functions in the everyday life of a municipality.
The project is called "Girls in Politics" and has a clear goal: to let girls learn early on that politics is not purely a men's topic. The students were able to ask questions and get to know the various tasks of a mayor. It involved appointments, conversations, and decisions that affect life in the municipality.
The initiative shows how important it is to inspire young people about political topics. Many girls only learn later in life that they too can take on political responsibility. Such encounters can help change this picture earlier.
The day in the municipality thus shows that politics is also a women's business. The students gathered valuable experiences there, which may give them courage in the future to become active themselves.
