What happens to clothes left over from swap parties? Why do young people choose to organize a clothing swap specifically on Black Friday? And what inspired a young trainee to get involved in the European Parliament? In our latest podcast episode Political Engagement in Germany, we dive into the passions driving young people to take action on climate protection, social issues, and politics. How politically engaged is Germany's youth, and what motivates them?

Congratulations to our winners of the Award of Excellence for “Political Engagement”:
