In January we were honoured to be nominated for the 'Grote Prijs van Charlois’, a prize created by the district council of Charlois in Rotterdam to put initiators who make a valuable contribution to the district in the limelight. There were many amazing projects nominated, with Etienne Tjon-A-Kon taking out the grand prize for their wonderful work with young people from the neighbourhood.
It was a great evening to learn about other social initiatives of the area and toast to everyone's achievements and hard work. Cheers! And thank you to the district council for their nomination!
A list of the nominated projects include:
Etienne Tjon-A-Kon – opent elke zaterdag Huis van de Wijk Clemensstraat voor jongeren
