Youth team goes CVD

Young people from the municipality of Edam-Volendam, in collaboration with each other and professional parties, organized various activities and/or contributed to the supervision of activities. From "corona-proof" sports tournaments, to pool games and from gaming and "stuntman" workshops, to organized discussions and debates. Invent, prepare (and announce/communicate) and implement activities yourself. At a time when the sentiment of "being powerless due to the Covid rules" became stronger, the young people involved gained influence in the range of activities in their own area and even involved adult volunteers. The enthusiasm of the participants caused experienced professionals to look at the range of activities with renewed energy and more connections between young people after the summer holidays. This is noticeable in the debates/conversations that are held among themselves about next steps, but also in the composition of groups that visit each other in the free time for recreation.
