With each season of the "What is good and can be better?", the City Incubator provides us with insight into the 'scene' of young people in the city. The ideas that young people want to realize, focues towards improvement of their lives and the lives of local communities. What we find this time around in the program is an increase in ideas addressing the mental health of young people, ideas that include the arts as a (partial) response to the social needs of young people, a marked commitment to action and a desire to contribute. All expressed through ideas of co-creative and co-working projects and the need to raise awareness and disseminate what is important to young people today - for their future.
We are proud to present Idealists who have completed training workshops for the transformation of their ideas into projects, successfully obtained financial and mentoring support for their projects, and have already started implementing projects. They will be completed by the end of June 2020, and until then, we will introduce you to the 2019/2020 generation:
