Grassroots Democratic Alliance initiates a drive for the 2025 local polls, prioritizing the engagement of youthful electorate
In the city of Lünen, a city-wide poster campaign has been initiated by the "Partnership for Democracy Lünen". This campaign, which began on August 28, 2025, aims to raise awareness about the upcoming local elections scheduled for September 14, 2025.
The campaign is non-partisan in nature and targets young people, with those aged 16 and above in the city of Lünen eligible to vote in the elections. The posters, which feature two newly developed designs, are now displayed across the city, including in schools and youth facilities, as part of the broader goal to strengthen democratic engagement locally and promote social cohesion.
The AWO district association Ruhr-Lippe-Ems, which carries the coordination and specialist office for the federal program "Democracy lives!" in Lünen, plays a crucial role in this campaign. Stefan Wrazidlo from the AWO district association Ruhr-Lippe-Ems is overseeing the coordination and specialist office for the city-wide poster campaign in Lünen.
The city administration's Integrated Social Planning & Participation team is responsible for the city-wide poster campaign in Lünen. The city of Lünen has joined a nationwide network of over 300 local partnerships as part of the new funding period of the federal program "Democracy lives!".
The federal program "Democracy lives!" aims to strengthen democratic engagement locally, promote social cohesion, and prevent extremism. It is funded by the Federal Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. The coordination and the special office of the partnership project "Democracy Lives!" in Lünen are monitored by the organization Lokale Partnerschaft für Demokratie.
The AWO district association Ruhr-Lippe-Ems also supports project ideas, connects actors, and advises on funding opportunities for the federal program "Democracy lives!" in Lünen. The city-wide poster campaign in Lünen is just one of the many initiatives under this program that aims to foster a more engaged and cohesive society.
