Schwarzkopf-Stiftung in Berlin
At a Schwarzkopf-Stiftung event in Mitte, 21 people (ages 15–50) and YA Louisa met UN Youth Delegates on a Germany tour to gather diverse youth perspectives. The delegates clarified they represent German youth at the UN, not vice versa, sparking discussion on Germany’s UN Security Council seat. An open conversation followed on youth participation, tokenism, and being taken seriously in politics. Key takeaways: frustration turns to action by speaking to authorities, but many don’t know how. Democracy can be promoted through non-political involvement, and access must be simplified to truly include youth.
