Das Potential ist da!

Last Thursday, 9/12/2010, found the inaugural meeting of the new - second - Düsseldorf Youth Council instead. Fortunately were all members present 31. (Hopefully this will at the upcoming meetings also be the case!) The response of the voters and the press did, however, very limited. So were in addition to the representatives of the parties and the employees of the administration, only half a dozen members of the 1st Jugenrates and a handful of interested persons appeared.

promised the meeting agenda no tense evening. In addition to the sobering analysis to select (the turnout has been halved to less than 20%: many young people felt inadequately informed and the types of schools are represented not representative - it was 00:00 applications from secondary school students) were targets and tasks of the Youth Council defined by the administration .

More or less interesting it was at the launch of the new members. Although at least half of the contributions appeared to me almost identical to the letter ( "I'm so glad to be selected and look forward to a great cooperation with you all!" ), stood out but already some "deputies" out noticeably.

motivated particularly appeared to me personally because of their introductory speech, the following members of the new Youth Council:
- Lajla Fetic (District 1)
- Aurel Groene (2)
- Tobias Mayatepek (3)
- Henning Schmidt (3)
- Dorothy Stieber ( 5)
- Sebastian Schnock (5)
- Haffsa Badi (6)
- Mike Brunkow (6)
- Yasmina Aoulad Ali (8)
- Ali Hammouchi (9)
- Ikram Qassiti (9)

Hopefully now that - unlike the first Youth Council - all initial euphoria after the first session flies. meet on the planning weekend in Duisburg (21 to 23/01/2010) , the old and new members (I myself am unable to attend!), the foundation for work in the coming year are laid. It is also important - and here the first Youth clearly not worked well enough - the young people of the city more involved in political work . Whether through monthly district meetings, as she plans Aurel Groene in District 2, they es durch Publikationen auf Blogs; sei es durch Einbindung in die verschiedenen Arbeitsgruppen; sei es durch Mitbringen von FreundInnen zu den öffentlichen Sitzungen des Jugendrates.

Das Potential ist da! Man darf auf die kommenden 3 Jahre gespannt sein!
