The Weltacker Youth Council is growing and thriving! We remain committed to a sustainable food system and fair access to healthy food in Berlin!
As we look back on an eventful year, we are already setting our sights on 2025, which holds many exciting projects and new event formats in store for us.
Our symbolic menu features a number of workshops and participatory projects, and once again brings together two exquisite elements: art and politics.
Our appetizer is all about the motto: Beep, beep, beep—we love the food revolution. At the Fridays For Future rally, we handed out sandwiches, thanks to a generous donation from Märkisch Landbrot and our homemade spreads.
Our goal as the Youth Council is to continue growing—both in terms of the issues we address and by increasing our membership. At the demonstration, we were already able to connect with interested and committed people.
As the main course, we’d like to present our colorful annual plan to you.
Food is also a political issue, and we want a say in it! Not just what’s on our plates, but beyond that as well. To that end, we want to organize workshops on inclusive democratic participation.
We’ll explore food in a wide variety of political contexts and get together to discuss and share information. This summer, everything will revolve around a cooking and art event with the Food Policy Council and “sun printing”—we’re planning a cyanotype workshop!
A special highlight will be our next Youth Council trip. This time, we’re heading to vibrant Leipzig to network with other youth groups there!
In September, we’ll be dining at a long table. We’re planning a public, inclusive, and accessible event at Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin. We can look forward to an interactive art exhibition, workshops, talks, and one of our favorite concepts: Küfa (Kitchen for Everyone)!
What kind of change do we want to bring to the table here?
With your support, we want to breathe new life into the 2022 policy paper and create a strong, sustainable vision for the future of food!
We plan to engage in direct dialogue with politicians, and in light of political challenges, we’ve already designed activist banners in January that we can bring to the numerous demonstrations regarding budget cuts and the upcoming election year.
As the grand finale, there will once again be an event where, alongside Kunst & Küfa, we’ll present our policy paper! With that in mind—let’s all come together!
And all of this with the help of our new sponsors from the Berlin Youth Democracy Fund!
Feel free to sign up here if you'd like to join in!
Since 2022, the Weltacker Youth Council has been working with us—an exciting project that brings young people in Berlin together. They all share one goal: a voice in Berlin’s food policy!
