Jong gewild


Wednesday 30 april was a day well spent in the Flemish Parliament. 'Jong gewild' was a climax of the project 'De Schoonmoeder aller Verkiezingen'. Briefly, it was a day when young people filled up the parliament and told the politicians what they want to see being achieved in Belgium. Empowerment, poverty, ecology, education... You name it, they were all hot topics on the day. We had the chance to present them to a few politicians who were present themselves in the parliament, but also to the whole world as it was livesretamed on deredactie.be and broadcast on the telly on the channel OP12. I gave a speech/poem about empowerment, and you can read it here or here. Or you can watch me on this video. So, what do you think of the day?
