  • Training programme for politically active women and interested parties

    We live and appreciate living in a democracy, but this does not happen automatically. If we are to continue to live in a democracy, we all have to do our bit.

    And this requires diversity and equal participation. Support in the form of training is also needed so that women can take the rocky road and not only represent the interests of more than 50% of the population in all political areas, but also make their voices heard.

    Alle Frauen, die am 14. September erstmalig gewählt worden sind, möchte ich auf folgende Veranstaltung von Be The Change NRW aufmerksam machen.

    Am 23. Oktober findet von 20 bis 21 Uhr online der Early Night Talk zum Thema Mein Einstieg ins politische Amt statt.

    Die Veranstaltung ist online und Daten und den Anmeldelink gibt es auf der Homepage von Be The Change NRW.

    I would already like to draw your attention to the event
    "Gesehen. Heard. Elected.-Women in local politics in NRW"
    on 4 November 2025 at the German Mining Museum.

    Together, we will take a critical look at the election results for 2025. At the same time, the aim is to discuss how more women - in all their diversity - can be given political responsibility and made visible in the long term.
