Important political topics

Thriving citizens

When residents feel well, the entire municipality thrives. Well-being is not just about health but also about security, inclusion, and quality of life. The municipality's role is to create an environment where everyone can live a meaningful and happy life.

Healthy and happy residents cope better with work and daily life, reducing illnesses and social problems. Investments in healthcare, exercise, education, and community engagement are not expenses but investments in a better future.

When residents feel included and receive the support they need, an active and vibrant community is created. The well-being of society is reflected everywhere – in businesses, education, and public services.

A thriving municipality benefits everyone. By taking care of each other, we build a sustainable and happy society!

Children, Youth, and Families

Children and families are the heart of every community. When families are supported, the entire society thrives. Taking care of them ensures a strong foundation for the future, as children grow up feeling safe, nurtured, and valued.

A supportive community provides resources like education, healthcare, and emotional support, helping families overcome challenges. When families are strong, children have better opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute positively to society.

When we invest in children and families, we build a brighter, more compassionate future for everyone.
