RdJ - Council of the German-speaking Youth of Belgium

National Youth Council - Observers
Democracy and young people
The RdJ represents the interests of young people in the German-speaking community thanks to the delegates of the differen youth institutions. These delegatues are connected to the basic society and know the problems and desires of young people. Moreover, we act like an advisory body for the government and for instance, the government has to ask for our opinion when changing the youth decree. We also give reports for other bills or give facts and figures about the situation of young people in the German-speaking community. The RdJ and its working groups organize projects and events in order to inform or sensitize young people, so that they can build their own opinion. We act thus like the link between young people and politics: we hear the interests and needs of young people, communicate them to the government, exchange with it in order to find good solutions and organize projects and events for young people.
