The first JuBReg Expert Day took place on November 25
The "Youth Moves Region - Region Moves Youth" or "Youth Vision Action" project aims to bring young people from our region together across borders and develop shared visions. An important step here is to familiarize young people with the region. This happened for the first time on 25 November 2025, when pupils from Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland went on excursions from their artistic workshops at the Großhennersdorf meeting center to exciting places in Lusatia. One of these was the Heckenhof farm in Sohland. HSZG student Elise was there and tells us about her impressions!
On November 25, 2024, the first expert day took place as part of the research project (JuBReg). After an initial meeting at Lanterna Futuri in Großhennersdorf, various groups of pupils set off for different destinations. Our group, together with teachers, pupils and workshop leaders from Germany and Poland, set off for the Heckenhof farm in Sohland am Rotstein. After arriving at the farm, we were warmly welcomed by the two owners. In a relaxed round of introductions, they told us about the history, visions and goals of the Heckenhof. The focus of the farm is on solidarity-based farming with a focus on sustainability and community. A warming cup of homemade chai was followed by an informative tour of the farm. We were given exciting insights behind the scenes of community-supported agriculture. We were shown the fields and cultivated areas and learned more about the resource-conserving organization that shapes everyday life on the farm. Most of the questions asked during the tour came from the adults, while the pupils were more observant at first. Nevertheless, the tour provided plenty of inspiration and a vivid introduction to the principles of regional cultivation. Afterwards, we made our way to the nearby village café. This café not only serves as a meeting place for the village community, but also as a venue for cultural and social projects. Fresh, regional dishes were served for lunch. The lunch break was not only an opportunity for refreshments, but also a chance to chat and make music together, which lightened the atmosphere.
In 2025, students from three countries will be artistically active together in various formats (Future Camp, Future Agency, Future Production and Future Congress) and work together to develop visions for the future of the region. We are looking for students to take part in our project. We offer the opportunity to
