An independent council of 45 young Amsterdammers
Context

The members aren’t politicians, but rather experts from various fields like education, healthcare, business, media, science and culture.
Concept
As independent representatives of a new generation of Amsterdammers, the council gathers a couple of times per year to discuss a number of chosen matters of the city and what advice should be given. Since the launch in March 2018 the council created, with the support of Pakhuis de Zwijger, a series of programs, podcasts and articles.
