Youth ribbon

Heerlen believes that young heroes and heroines aged 8 to 18 also deserve a ribbon. That is why we regularly award special children or young people with a youth ribbon. We also call this youth ribbon coolpietje.
Do you know a young hero or heroine who deserves a coolpietje. Anyone can submit him or her.
