I HAVE A DREAM… Educate yourself! Activating youth in a global world

For many young people, contact with their peers from the Third World can be an eye-opener. They see that young people from the Third World deal with difficult circumstances in a creative and innovative way. This makes young people from the West aware of their own responsibility.

During this workshop a group of young people and professionals will work with this theme. Carin Boersma will talk about the reverse development cooperation of E-motive and Michiel Buuren about the activities and vision of Stichting Hoedje van Papier. A few members of the multicultural youth organisation Young Vision travelled to Ethiopia in April to visit various development projects. Young Vision will present their experiences and the impact of this journey. Moderator: Ludo Keizer (consultant MEXIT).

I Have a Dream... is a joint initiative of Felix Meritis and MEXIT and consists of a series of workshops during the afternoon followed by public lectures in the evening. The total programme will include a wrap-up session and a compilation of essays. This programme is made possible by the support of Oxfam Novib.
