Find out more about the challenges in Prignitz: increase in child welfare threats, bird flu and new initiatives for children and young people.
Foster mother Anne Theiß fights against threats to children's welfare in Prignitz
There is currently a lot to report in Prignitz. The focus is particularly on Anne Theiß from Wittenberg, who has been the foster mother of a seven-year-old boy for six years and has over 15 years of experience as an educator. Despite her rewarding work, she sees the challenges associated with an increasing number of child abuse cases in the region, while at the same time the number of foster families is decreasing. This situation shows how important it is that responsible adults like Anne have a good knack for care and upbringing.
A positive example of family relationships is Anne's agreement with her foster child's birth mother, who visits once a week. Such bonds are crucial for children to feel comfortable and secure. At the same time, however, Prignitz is facing further challenges: bird flu has reached the region, which means that from Wednesday onwards poultry will be required to be kept in stables throughout the district. Karin Schlegel from Klein Gottschow has already reacted and brought her 500 animals into covered stables to protect them.
New initiatives and changes
A new path is being taken in Pritzwalk: the city is setting up a children's and youth advisory board for the first time. This committee is intended to give young people a voice in city politics. Applications can now be submitted, and the guidelines for the work of the advisory board are to be decided this year. An important step in making the interests of the youngest people heard in urban development.
At the same time, there is news at the Prignitz technology and commercial center. The city laboratory in Perleberg took over this. New consultation hours and offers are planned here so that the city laboratory will continue to be available as a central contact point for consultations, urban developments and local projects.
World events have a local impact
People were notified of their terminations via email and given 90 days to seek new positions within the company. If this does not succeed, those affected will receive severance pay and transitional benefits. It remains to be seen how these job cuts will impact the region's job market.
In addition to these developments, there are also interesting new developments in the area of online communication. The HOLLA platform allows users to start spontaneous live video chats with real people and promotes the exchange of cultures and experiences in a protected space. With an intelligent matching system, HOLLA aims to create fun and natural encounters and give users more control over their chats.
The events in Prignitz and the broader world situation show how closely local and global issues are linked. It remains exciting to see how the situation will develop and what solutions will be found.
