The Women's Office of the City of Villach is setting an important example for the political education of young people. On November 16, the “Girls in Politics” event will take place, specifically aimed at girls and young women between the ages of 14 and 18.
The goal of the project is to provide participants with a practical insight into the world of local politics. The young people will have the opportunity to better understand the processes within the city administration and to come into direct contact with political decision-makers.
In addition to theoretical information, the focus is primarily on exchange. The young women are to be encouraged to contribute their own ideas and to learn how they can actively participate in shaping their own hometown. Such initiatives are important for sparking an interest in democratic processes at an early age.
Participation in the event is free of charge, but registration with the Villach Women's Office is required. With this offer, the city aims to contribute to inspiring more young women to pursue political office and social engagement.
