Balzers has a high standard of youth participation in their municipality. The regional law Jugendgesetz from the year 2008 provides the framework for youth participation. Apart from that, the topic is promoted through an official strategy to include young people in different aspects of community life and political work. Moreover, Balzers emphasizes the role and inclusion of youth in future decisions affecting the population. The project “Balzers Mitte – Zukunft formen” (“Balzers’ center – forming the future”) aimed at including this mission statement.
Balzers’ youth worker Jutta Lutz-Diem indicates that “a young person should have seat including a vote in the municipal council.”
