How can young people preserve and help shape their living spaces in Berlin? The 2026 Political Evening will focus on their perspectives and expectations of Berlin’s political leaders. Young people from youth organizations will share their experiences and discuss housing, public spaces, and civic engagement with political representatives. Afterward, there will be an opportunity for discussion.

What is it about?

The 2026 Political Evening focuses on the living spaces of young people in Berlin. The central question is how housing, gathering places, and youth-work venues can be protected, and how young people’s perspectives can be taken into account in political decisions.

What will be covered?

Young people from youth organizations will share their experiences in Berlin. A keynote speech, short interviews, and discussion tables will highlight the importance of different living spaces. In a concluding panel discussion, politicians and youth organizations will exchange ideas on possible solutions.
