Equality in the Burgenlandkreis: Conference brings fresh impulses!

Weißenfels, Deutschland - Today, on June 23, 2025, Equal Opportunities and interested in Weißenfels meet in order to discuss significant issues of gender equality policy. The Federal Working Group for Local Women and Equal Opportunities has invited to promote this exchange and to develop specific recommendations for action. The conference entitled "Rural Areas in Change" takes place on June 23 and 24 in the picturesque Schumann Garden and promises exciting insights into the challenges and opportunities that offer rural spaces. Burgenlandkreis.de reports that the highlight of the event will be a lecture by District Administrator Götz Ulrich, which speaks about the structural change in the Burgenlandkreis, an example that could not be better chosen in relation to social and economic transformation.

A central concern of the conference is the women's policy dialogue. The participants expect interactive workshops in which concrete solutions for updated equality strategies are developed. This initiative goes hand in hand with the fourth equality report of the federal government, which Dr. Ulrike Spangenberg will present on Monday morning. In this context, the common will to create sustainable structures in rural areas is also discussed, as on [Equal rights.
