Expanding Digital Politics in Wuppertal: A Rising Trend Online
In the heart of Wuppertal, a new online resource has been introduced to encourage citizen participation and engagement. The website, www.politik-in-wuppertal.de, was developed in collaboration between the Inclusion Office, Bergische Volkshochschule, and the team for citizen participation and citizen engagement of the city.
Launched last March, the website offers specialist information in simple language, making it accessible to a wide audience, including those with learning difficulties, those learning German, or those with reading difficulties due to dementia. A total of 21 texts have been translated into easy-to-read language, ensuring that the information is approachable and easy to understand.
The website caters to both beginners and advanced participants, offering tips on local involvement categorised from "Educate yourself" to "Get involved". Four new contents have been added: Committees/Boards, Senior Council, Advisory Board for People with Disabilities, and Researching. Many of these materials encourage participation and offer opportunities for local elections.
To promote the website, promotional materials such as postcards, beer mats, posters, and canvas bags will be distributed throughout the city in the coming weeks. These materials aim to inform as many people as possible about the website and its resources.
Jan Niko Kirschbaum from VHS ([email protected]) and Jonathan Seim ([email protected]) are the contact persons for the team for citizen participation and citizen engagement of the city. For more information or queries, you can reach out to them directly.
