Youth protection campaign: "Bocholt shakes awake!"

The city of Bocholt is launching new youth protection posters and is calling on creative children and young people aged 10 and over to participate and help design the posters. The aim is to send messages on the topics of "cell phones and media", "cyber) bullying/civil courage" and "alcohol and its consequences".

The topics of cell phone and media use in particular have taken on enormous importance among children and young people. This is accompanied by a wide variety of opportunities, but also risks that young people need to be aware of. Many children are also aware of the problem of bullying and cyberbullying in particular. Furthermore, excessive alcohol consumption and the resulting consequences (such as alcohol poisoning, loss of control) is an important educational area that could be addressed on the youth protection posters, according to the Bocholt Youth Welfare Office.

The posters are intended to give children and young people the opportunity to actively address these issues and communicate what moves them and what is important to them. According to the motto "From you for you", other young people are to be awakened with these messages and slogans.

There are no limits to ideas

The posters can be submitted by individuals or as a collective work by a class or group. There are no limits to creativity. It doesn't matter whether they are drawn, painted, QR-coded, glued or photographed - the main thing is that the message gets across. Detailed information on how to participate can be found at www.bokiju.de.

Contributions are exhibited

The most creative entries will be regularly on display in Bocholt institutions and will also be used to draw attention to compliance with child and youth protection at events such as the Bocholt funfair, carnival or Abivorfeten. The best posters will be rewarded with great prizes.
