On March 3, 2020, the 17th Youth and Trainee Representation Forum (JAV Forum) took place at the Mainzer Stadtwerke. At the invitation of Minister President Malu Dreyer, we, Johanna Weber and Elena König, as youth and trainee representatives of HWG LU, were there for the first time this year.
At the beginning of the event, Minister President Dreyer and State Secretary of the Interior Randolf Stich agreed to take photos with some of the youth and trainee representatives.
The event was themed "Strengthening democracy" in line with the #MiteinanderGutLeben and #RLPGegenHassundHetze campaigns.
TV presenter Markus Appelmann led through the evening program. After Malu Dreyer's welcoming address, Japhet Dufitumuzika, an employee of the Mainz public utility company, spoke about successful integration and its challenges.
Afterwards, in addition to the panel discussion, there was a question and answer session with State Secretary of the Interior Randolf Stich, Minister of Labor Sabine Bätzing-Lichtenthäler, Jennifer Otto as representative of the young group (GdP RLP) and Sven Kreuzer as representative of ver.di Jugend RLP. The JAVs dealt with various topics, including the current problems in nursing care, and we also dealt with the critical conditions for taking on our trainees after their training.
The final get-together with snacks and drinks was dedicated to networking and the exchange of ideas among the JAVs.
