Because democracy is for everyone: we give the young generation the opportunity to contribute their voices to our democracy projects. As Hertie Foundation, we organise a particularly large number of projects with and for young people: 200,000 pupils are involved in ‘Jugend debattiert’ alone every year, the START Foundation reaches 500 young people and the new ‘Jugend entscheidet’ project also focuses our work on this social group and their desire to have a say in society. To ensure that the views of the younger generations continue to be incorporated into the planning and implementation of our programmes and projects in a structured manner, we have added a new perspective to our thematic networks: the Democracy Youth Advisory Board.
Detailed information about this project and our overall activities can be found on the German website.
