The Electors Academy is a track in which 20 young participants (18-28) have the opportunity to develop politically, journalistically, socially. During the course of +/- 8 weeks, you will receive several workshops from opinion makers, campaigners and politicians. You will also set up your own voting campaign in different teams (with campaign budget) to mobilize as many young people as possible for the ballot box.
What are you going to do!
- You will have 6 workshops (starting September 29 every Friday afternoon from 1:00 – 5:30 p.m.) on elections, public speaking, speech and campaigning
- You will receive weekly training from professional campaigners to set up your own campaign
- You’re going along to The Great Election Show with The Electors in Tivoli Utrecht (Monday, Nov. 13)
- Wednesday, Nov. 22 (Election Day) watch the election results night with the team at the Electoral Office in Amsterdam.
For whom.
We are looking for ambitious young people between the ages of 18 and 28 (MBO/HBO/WO), who are socially engaged, want to develop personally and make an impact. Deep knowledge about politics is not necessary. There is no charge for your participation. At the Electors Academy, everyone is welcome, regardless of your background, political leanings or education. We find that diversity is enriching to achieve our goals. We also believe in the power of differences to mobilize together as many young people as possible for the ballot box.
Participation in The Electors Academy is free. In addition to the Friday afternoon workshop, you and your team will spend an average of 4 hours per week developing your own attendance campaign.
