Global House of Young Voices
Virtual Youth Parliament with Frankfurt's Sister Cities
In May of 2024, a one-week summit with young people from Frankfurt's 17 sister cities will take place: The foundation for an international youth parliament, the “Global House of Young Voices”, is to be laid. The summit strengthens both: the international network and the intercultural competence of young people. The result of the summit is creating a framework for the young people to discuss political questions in a multi-perspective setting, to identify common challenges, and to articulate requirements for the (virtual) continuation of the “Global House of Young Voices”.
The goals of the project are to promote education for global citizenship in the sense of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to link local and global political processes, and to sustainably strengthen Frankfurt's city partnerships.
The project takes place within the framework of “Netzwerk Paulskirche”. It is funded by the City of Frankfurt am Main as well as Stiftung junge Weltbürger (“Young Global Citizens Foundation”) and coordinated by PRIF.
Frankfurt’s Sister Cities include: Birmingham, Budapest, Deuil-La Barre, Dubai, Eskişehir, Granada (Nicaragua), Guangzhou, Kairo, Krakau, Leipzig, Lyon, Mailand, Philadelphia, Prag, Tel Aviv, Toronto, Yokohama.
