Girls 'and Boys' Day: Insight into the diverse professional worlds!

On Monday, April 3, 2023, this year's Girls 'and Boys' Day will take place in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district administration. On this day of action, young people have the opportunity to explore different areas of administration and take part in a varied rally. Together with groups of trainees, the participants can gain insights into professions that are often underrepresented in their society, such as fire protection and information technology.
