On National Future Day, Bremen Police and Fire Department Open Their Doors to Show 320 Students What It Means to Ensure a City's Safety
Bremen's Future Day Opens Doors to Public Safety Careers for Students
Around 40 students experienced hands-on demonstrations of emergency response techniques at various fire stations, engaging in conversations with seasoned firefighters. Meanwhile, police in Bremen and Bremerhaven gave roughly 280 children and teens a firsthand look at the daily work of emergency personnel, offering insights into the diverse responsibilities of law enforcement. Highlights included meeting the SWAT team (SEK), demonstrations by police dogs, and a display of the water cannon. The goal was to introduce young people to career opportunities in public safety at an early stage.
Safety Isn't Just About Emergency Response
Interest remained as strong as ever this year, with all 320 spots for Future Day filling up quickly. Other agencies under the Interior and Sports Authority also welcomed students, providing a glimpse into their work. Senator for Interior Affairs Dr. Eva Högl emphasized: "Future Day is an excellent opportunity for young people to explore professions that are vital to our society. But safety isn't just about emergency operations—it also depends on those who work reliably behind the scenes: in citizen services, public order, the registry office, or administration. Those who work for the state of Bremen keep daily life in the city running smoothly."
