Heerlen, young

Investing in young people

Does Heerlen invest enough in things that give young people a good future in our city and region?

Such as education and science, digital development, employment, housing, citizenship, culture, strong associations and physical meeting places?

Are young people able and willing to make a choice for Heerlen, a self-confident city?

Heerlen

Heerlen invests substantial amounts in poverty alleviation, seniors, welfare, culture and youth (welfare) work.

What is the big story of Heerlen, except growing to 100,000 inhabitants. Or do we want to opt for a resilient society?

Citizenship and young people as volunteers

Wants Heerlen to choose:

• Young people as active citizens, who help shape their city and society now and in the future?
• Strengthening the power of young people in the context of solidarity and inclusive work?
• Promote active citizenship and involve young people more closely in the city?
• Giving young people every opportunity and opportunity to feel at home and to be themselves?
