We are proud to share the recent visit of Ms. Judith Uitermark, Minister of the Interior, and Ms. Marieke van Schijndel, Director of Vfonds, to the EGK Centre. This visit highlighted our ongoing collaboration on the NU Youth Dialogue Group (NYDG) project, which focuses on the theme of “Citizenship.”
The project explores what citizenship means for young people of African migrant background in the Netherlands. Drawing from their personal stories, the NYDG is producing a short film that captures their experiences and perspectives. The film aims to raise awareness about how this new generation defines belonging, identity, and participation in Dutch society. We look forward to the positive impact this initiative will bring.
Mission
The NU Youth Dialogue Group is a youth-led initiative dedicated to promoting inclusion and social change through dialogue. We focus on addressing the unique challenges faced by bi-cultural youth growing up in a Western context — fostering mutual understanding and creating practical pathways toward equality and belonging.
Goal
Our goal is to build bridges between generations and cultures by creating a safe and open space for conversation. We work to strengthen communication between young people and their communities, challenge stigmas, and promote equal opportunities in education and society.
Through events, workshops, and partnerships with schools and social organizations, we strive to raise awareness and inspire action — contributing to a more inclusive society where every young person feels seen, valued, and heard.
