Als jongeren ambassadeur bij jong040 houd ik me bezig met maatschappelijke relevante projecten over onderwerpen zoals de verkiezingen en de wooncrisis. Elke 2 weken komen we met een groep jongeren bij elkaar en werken we naar een adviesrapport of actie toe. De eerste ronde waaraan ik deelnam ging over jongeren naar de stembus krijgen. Hiervoor stonden we op het 18-september plein met de quote: ‘Heb jij ook schijt aan de politiek’. Om op die manier gesprekken aan te gaan met jongeren. ED-artikel
