Nordhorn Takes Bold Steps Toward Becoming a Child-Friendly Town
Nordhorn is making strides towards becoming a 'Child-Friendly Municipality'. The town recently hosted a presentation at the Town Hall, where Sönke Deitlaff and Heide-Rose Brückner from the Child-Friendly Municipalities Association shared the outcomes of public participation. This marked another step in Nordhorn's journey towards certification.
Nordhorn joined the program in February 2025, aiming to better protect, support, and involve its young residents. The town continues its journey through multiple engagement processes involving children, young people, and adults. Following the presentation, workshops were held to select ideas and projects for the action plan.
The program, run by the Child-Friendly Municipalities Association, helps municipalities establish child-friendly structures and further develop existing services. The action plan, to be drafted by participants, will serve as a guiding framework for local government and administration to implement projects enhancing child-friendliness in Nordhorn over the coming years.
