Political discourse featuring young participants - 8th edition
The Sports Youth in the Bochum City Sports Association recently hosted its 8th Youth Political Sports Show, a unique event that brought together 40 young people from 14 Bochum clubs and organizations, as well as nine mayoral candidates from various democratic parties, to engage in a direct exchange of ideas.
The focus of the event was on fostering a meaningful dialogue between young people and the mayoral candidates, with the aim of giving youth a voice in the upcoming municipal election in 2025. The innovative dialogue format replaced the traditional panel discussion with themed tables, allowing for more in-depth conversations and personal connections.
Participating mayoral candidates included Jörg Lukat (SPD + Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), Dr. Andreas Bracke (CDU), Jens Lücking (UWG-Freie Bürger), Wiebke Köllner (DIE LINKE), Susanne Schneider (FDP), Nadja Zein-Draeger (STADTGESTALTER and Volt), Lena Maria Christina Bormann (Die PARTEI), Pardis Parinejad (independent), and Sahver Münch (independent).
Heiko Schneider, chairman of the Sports Youth in the Bochum City Sports Association, emphasized the importance of giving youth a voice, stating that the event demonstrated that young people in Bochum feel taken seriously. The event was also marked by special video contributions created by young people, reflecting the diversity of themes and perspectives of the young generation in Bochum.
Throughout the event, the young people at the 8th Youth Political Sports Show received direct answers to their questions, leaving the politicians participating in the event impressed by the engagement and clarity of the young voices. The event concluded with the statement: "Young people want to have a say - and their voice counts."
Despite the search results not providing the names of the candidates from the political parties who participated in the 8th Youth Political Sports Show in Bochum and are running for the 2025 local elections, it is clear that this event has set a precedent for increased youth involvement and engagement in local politics.
