When Young Voices Move Mainz
On November 10, 2026, the Youth Welfare Committee of the City of Mainz will open its discussion platform "Youth Speaks for Itself". Children and young people will have the space to bring forth their questions, ideas, and concerns directly and actively shape the community.
Engage, ask questions, initiate change
The family experience in the Town Hall makes participation tangible: Young visitors can address topics that affect their daily lives, provide suggestions, and voice criticism. Starting at 5 PM, children and young people will have the right to speak in the committee. Thus, curiosity becomes genuine participation, and a single idea can become an impulse for Mainz.

Children and young people will experience that their perspectives matter and that they can actively shape their surroundings. The event offers a child-friendly learning experience regarding participation, responsibility, and respectful exchange.
