Abstract

This publication summarises the results of the BMBF-funded project "Konnekt: Inter-municipal cooperation and transformation as the basis for a regional circular economy and sustainable regional development in the district of Saarlouis" (FKZ: 033L243). The publication is primarily aimed at the administrations and political bodies of the Saarland municipalities; the results are summarised in thematic chapters, at the end of which concrete recommendations for action are formulated from the perspective of the project.

Two workshops with young people in the district of Saarlouis provided insights into their visions and wishes for the future. The spectrum of visions for the future is very broad and includes wishes for equal rights, tolerance and participation, more climate, environmental and animal protection as well as social and economic security. Various recommendations for action can be derived, including the recommendation to introduce a "pact for young people", to create suitable learning opportunities, to develop and cultivate communication opportunities and spaces for development and to provide greater support and recognition for voluntary work.
