SPD and Greens want to strengthen political education in the Hanseatic city, especially among children and young people. They want to “provide funds to support cooperation between schools and educational institutions in the form of seminars, workshops, educational trips and similar formats,” said Astrid Hennies, education expert for the SPD parliamentary group, according to a statement on Sunday. Overall, an inventory of political education should be initiated.
From the point of view of the Greens, democratic coexistence is currently threatened by political polarization and social insecurity. “Political education is an elementary basis for this. Children and young people learn to think critically and at the same time to appreciate the value of a free, democratic society,” said Sina Demirhan, spokeswoman for extracurricular education.
According to the information, the citizenship should vote on the application on June 29th.
