In various exercises throughout the day, the participants, together with a speaker from the DFL Foundation, explored numerous political topics. Among other things, the young people also talked about fundamental values in a democracy, always linking the results to the values of sport. The students agreed that it is important to vote.
At the workshop, the video published by Bayer 04 the day before was also shown, in which the club's management and players call for participation in the 2025 parliamentary elections on Sunday 23 February. Managing director for sport Simon Rolfes and defender Jonathan Tah, among others, sent out the unmistakable message: "If you don't vote, others will decide for you. Democracy cannot be taken for granted. Use your right to vote and go and vote." The video was well received by the participants and some announced that they wanted to show it to their family members.
Following the informative workshop, the participants had the opportunity to explore the BayArena as part of a stadium tour. This brought the eventful and successful day to a close for the pupils from Leverkusen.
