On the occasion of the program’s conclusion, Prime Minister Schoff hosted the students this morning at Catshuis, where they discussed their experiences and future contributions. Participation certificates were also presented to the students.

Schoff also evaluated in The Hague the issues that can be learned from and carried out with young people.

This morning, Schoff also met with Utrecht Mayor Sharon Dijksma to discuss cooperation between the national government and municipalities, as well as youth care.

He emphasized that thanks to the implementation of agreements reached last spring, the financial situation of municipalities has improved, and the balance between goals, tasks, resources, and implementation capacity will be maintained.
