We want to give more visibility to the results that emerge from seminars. Therefore, we publish work by young people as Postcards.

This gives all visitors a closer look at the creative work in the cultural and political youth seminars. Motifs from various [seminars/groups] were selected. workshops with different media such as Comics, painting, tape art, podcast and photography. Different age groups are also represented. Two motifs from the bar, which the jugendBEIRAT designed ones are part of it.
