OKAJU is looking for young people for its Young Advisors Programme
„Et ass mir wichteg ob d‘Stëmm vun de Jonken ze lauschteren, hir Meenungen
an Erfahrungen an eis Iwwerleeungen
anzebréngen.“
Charel Schmit
Okaju Young Advisors
“Kanner a Jugendlecher verdéngen eng Stëmm an d’Sécherheet, eescht geholl ze ginn. Als Young Advisor beim OKAJU setzen ech mech dofir an, datt net nëmmen hir Rechter, mee och hir Meenung a Besoine respektéiert ginn. Mee fir wierklech eppes ze bewierken, musse méi Jonker sech engagéieren.
Wa mir all eise Bäitrag leeschten,
kënne mir Europa an d’Welt zu enger besserer Plaz fir jidderee maachen.”
Andreas Turki, Young Advisor
