Parents' protest and supervisory complaint erupts in Großderschau!
In Havelland, parents protest against the controversial radio mast while a swimming legend competes in his last competition.
Parents' protest and supervisory complaint erupts in Großderschau!
Things are boiling in Großderschau: A citizens' initiative has filed a supervisory complaint against director Jens Aasmann. The reason for this is the controversial approval of a radio mast, which was determined in a WhatsApp vote. This approach is viewed by many as inadmissible because it calls into question the transparency and traceability of decision-making. On June 26th, the official committee in Rhinow will hold a meeting to decide on the complaint and possibly shed light on the matter.
But these are not the only concerns in the region. Students at the Havelland Music and Art School in Falkensee will find themselves without classrooms starting this summer. The rooms currently used belonged to the special school, which was closed in 2018. In the future, these will be available to the special school again, which is causing protests from around 30 students and their parents. They gathered demonstratively in front of the building on Poststrasse to loudly voice their concerns.
Volunteering in the region
Amid these challenges, a ray of hope emerges: Stefanie Lempe, an active member of the volunteer fire department, is doing remarkable work rescuing people from burning houses. Your voluntary commitment is a prime example of the many volunteers who are not only active in the fire department, but also in many other areas such as sports, music or looking after children and seniors. According to a survey, around 29 million people in Germany regularly volunteer - that's around 40% of the population aged 14 and over. This number has increased continuously in recent years, which underlines the importance of volunteering in our society deutschland.de reported.
A particularly important area in which many people are involved is disaster protection. The Rhinow fire department will celebrate its 130th anniversary on June 28th with a traditional parade and a technology show. This duly recognizes the commitment of the volunteers and once again emphasizes the importance of their work.
The wide range of volunteer work
The engagement map in Germany shows that most volunteers are active in the areas of sport and exercise (13.5%), followed by culture and music (8.6%) and social projects (8.3%). In recent years in particular, the area of support for refugees and asylum seekers has become increasingly important. Between 2014 and 2019, over 12% of people in Germany were involved in this environment.
The Keluar reports prove that volunteering is an important part of our society. According to a recent report by the BMFSFJ, around 28.8 million people volunteered in 2019, and the proportion of people involved has grown steadily over the last 20 years. People aged 30 to 49 particularly stood out with an engagement rate of 44.7%. However, it is also pointed out that many committed people spend less time on their commitment than they did twenty years ago.
At a time when volunteer work is needed more urgently than ever, the developments in Großderschau and beyond cannot be ignored. They demonstrate not only the challenges facing our communities, but also the unwavering resolve of those fighting for a better future.
