Young Germans to simulate lawmaking in Bundestag this October
A three-day simulation game will bring around 100 young people into the German Bundestag this October. The event lets students, trainees, and university students step into the role of lawmakers. Participants will experience firsthand how political decisions are made.
The programme is open to teenagers and young adults aged 16 to 20. Applicants from Solingen, Remscheid, Wuppertal-Cronenberg, and Wuppertal-Ronsdorf have already shown interest, though their names remain undisclosed. Over the course of the event, they will tackle real political issues and draft joint policy proposals.
The simulation aims to mirror the work of the SPD parliamentary group. By debating key questions and negotiating positions, participants will gain a practical understanding of legislative processes. The event takes place in mid-October within the actual buildings of the Bundestag, adding to its authenticity.
The initiative provides a rare chance for young people to engage directly with parliamentary procedures. Through debates and policy-making exercises, they will leave with a clearer picture of how laws are shaped. Organisers hope the experience will encourage greater political participation among the next generation.
