Retrospective: Consultation workshop on the planned introduction of basic child support
Event organised by the Youth Check Centre of Excellence
Description and content of the event
Between 16 and 18 June 2023, 20 young participants aged between 12 and 27 from all over Germany convened in Berlin at the invitation of the Youth Check Centre of Excellence (KomJC) to deliberate the planned introduction of basic child support. The objective of the workshop was to document the perspectives of young people on the issue and to utilise this input for the development of a Youth Check process as soon as a draft law is available.
The weekend's programme comprised an overview of the Youth Check and its impact on the legislative process, a comprehensive introduction to the issues of basic child support and poverty among children and young people, an exchange with an expert, group work and discussion, and a concluding plenary debate. The event outcomes were documented in a report.
