Pforzheim Mayor awards prizes for democracy engagement initiative

Mayor Peter Boch has presented prizes to three winners of a contest held during the “Your Way. Your Voice. Your City.” initiative in Pforzheim. The event, which took place on October 1 at the Pforzheim marketplace, was part of the Long Night of Democracy.

The program featured five interactive stations designed to teach citizens about democracy through play and encourage them to share their perspectives on community involvement. The initiative was organized by the City of Pforzheim in collaboration with the Partnership for Democracy.

Mayor Boch emphasized that democracy relies on individuals expressing their opinions, taking responsibility, and actively participating in their communities. The project aimed to demonstrate that democratic engagement extends beyond political committees to include volunteer work, municipal decision-making, and local exchange.
