Rural Youth - Much to Frustrate

The article discusses the situation of youth in Saxony-Anhalt, highlighting the popularity of both the Left Party and the AfD among young people. It focuses on the work of Streetworkers like Ronja Muth, who engage with youth in informal settings such as parks, bus stops, and football fields. The goal of Streetwork is to provide low-threshold support for issues ranging from daily life challenges to more serious problems like drug addiction and poverty. The article emphasizes the non-judgmental approach of Streetwork workers, who do not exclude youth based on social class or political beliefs. However, it also mentions instances where Streetwork workers had to intervene to prevent far-right groups from taking over youth spaces. The piece ends by noting that politics is a central theme due to upcoming regional elections.
