Volunteering, Participation & Culture
This city thrives on people who roll up their sleeves and get stuck in without being paid. In local clubs, the fire service, the civil protection service, and in the neighbourhood. Those who give of their time should feel supported, not bogged down by paperwork.
The problem
Without this voluntary work, Papenburg would not be such a vibrant place. Yet all too often, red tape holds back those who want to help. And participation is hindered by steps, a lack of access routes and services that not everyone can reach.
Here’s exactly how I do it
- › Reduce the administrative burden on clubs and highlight the recognition they deserve.
- › Creating spaces where engagement takes place.
- › Accessible paths, entrances and spaces for genuine participation.
- › Supporting culture and sport. Every child in Papenburg should learn to swim.
