Young people's commitment to Europe is hugely important

LUDWIGSBURG - The 2019 European elections have shown that the younger generation is very interested in the future of the European Union. On Monday (July 1), Year 1 students at the Wirtschaftsgymnasium had the opportunity to ask Rainer Wieland, Vice-President of the European Parliament and member of the CDU, questions about the future of the European Union. District Administrator Dr. Haas said in his welcoming address: "Young people's commitment to Europe is extremely important. You will set the course for the Europe of the future."

A young woman stands on stage speaking into a microphone, while three seated older men listen. The backdrop features flags of Germany and the European Union, suggesting the event focuses on civic engagement or political discussion. A wooden podium is present on stage.

The students had prepared many exciting questions for Rainer Wieland.

"The young generation has already expressed in the European elections that they are not satisfied with current developments," said District Administrator Haas. It is important that young people question EU policy and contribute their own ideas. He called on the pupils to take their chance today and ask lots of questions. "Perhaps you can even give Mr. Wieland new ideas during the discussion," said District Administrator Haas.

The aim of the Robert Franck School's Europe Project Day is to familiarize pupils with the structures of the EU. To this end, the Robert Franck School invites a member of parliament to the classroom every year for a discussion round. This year, Rainer Wieland (CDU) discussed with the young people. In previous years, MPs Jürgen Walter (CDU), Klaus Herrmann (CDU) and Claus Schmiedel (SPD) have taken part.
