Promotion of children, youth and families
In Bocholt, family friendliness is writ large. There are many interesting and supportive offers for families in the most diverse phases and situations of life.
It's here - the new youth development plan for the city of Bocholt!
Under the motto "Be there. Have your say. Strong together!", the city of Bocholt is setting out the strategic basis for the next five years with the Child and Youth Promotion Plan (KJFP) 2026-2030. The aim is to sustainably improve the living conditions of young people and strengthen their participation in urban society.
The plan serves as a binding basis for educational work and the distribution of funding. It was developed in a participatory manner - in other words, children, young people, experts and politicians worked together on the content.
The youth development plan can be downloaded here. (PDF, 14.9 MB)
