Mitmach-Wissenschaften: "Nürnberg forscht" veröffentlicht Ergebnisse zur politischen Teilhabe
Update Explained
The 'Nürnberg forscht' project, led by the City of Nürnberg, investigates the political participation of individuals with migration backgrounds in the city. Supported by the Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund of the EU, this citizen science initiative encourages residents to explore integration and diversity issues. The latest research findings highlight the barriers and opportunities for political engagement among immigrants in Nürnberg. Participants in the study, including those who have personally experienced migration, examined local political involvement through interviews and surveys. Key findings suggest that while progress has been made, significant challenges remain, such as lack of voting rights, high entry barriers into political parties, and inadequate information channels. The project emphasizes the potential of inclusive civic engagement to strengthen democracy and aims to integrate its findings into the city's long-term integration efforts.
