This afternoon, the Queen began talks with organizations from various Dutch municipalities. Thrive Amsterdam Mental Healthy, for example, aims to promote mental health and resilience for all Amsterdammers and has a special focus on the city’s young and immigrant population. Another initiative is ease, which offers a place in five Dutch cities where young people can talk about their problems.
After the talks, Máxima was taken on a tour of Lab6, a partnership in Amsterdam that includes several youth organizations from Nieuw-West. The Queen also spoke to the youth herself. She visited Al-Mazouni for coaching and athletic guidance, among other places, where she spoke with two girls who were trained by Al-Mazouni. At De Studio, Queen Maxima spoke with young people who make music and write lyrics.
Finally, representatives of the municipalities of Someren, Peel & Maas spoke about how they are promoting the mental health of young people in their area. This included Roger’s lab that inspiration.
