On this beautiful Monday we had the pleasure of welcoming all participants of this years Global Bootcamp! Breaking the Monday morning barriers by stepping forward to answer fun and challenging questions, personal storytelling in groups and of course a great lunch to better get to know one another. - After lunch everyone gathered at the Idea Bazaar. Presenting their best projects to gather ‘funding’ from other participants in the form of fake paper money. We’ll tell you about the secret bazaar winners in a later story.. It’s still a surprise for now 😉 - To show us parts of the beautiful Monastir our wonderful Clubleader and organiser @selmi.bechir1 took us all on a Walk of Peace to explore the city and visit the Higher School of Health Sciences and Techniques of Monastir. - Then back at the hotel the participants gathered for their family groups or ‘tribes’ to have some quality family time to discuss todays happenings. The evening was finished off with dinner and an amazing Tunesian night where we all got to explore more about the culture here, listen to amazing music and enjoy a lovely fashion show that shows off the beautiful colours and vibrancy Tunesia has to offer! - Stay updated and do check out our stories for more behind the scenes moments 😉 ...

The childrens council hands the Peaceful Community Manifest to Anke Klein, deputy Major of Utrecht. ‘You guys are amazing! And we find it important to listen to the childrens opinions because we are a childrens city. I will put the Manifest on the wall of the Majors office.’ As a cherry on top, there was also a Nelson Award given by the childrens council to the neighborhood policeman Sjaak. He is chosen as the community hero by the cool kids of Overvecht! - De kinderraad overhandigt het Vreedzame Wijk Manifest aan Anke Klein, wethouder onderwijs in Utrecht. “Jullie zijn toppers!
