A Rotaracter's favorite political quote
Feiza's Quote:

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber - Plato

Feiza (l) and Giolina (r) during a meeting of the organising committee

Feiza is one of the four committeemembers of Young People and Politics. Tomorrow, she and Giolina will be guests on Tony Castro's radioshow 'Niet te stoppen' on Dolfijn FM to promote their Young People and Politics-seminar. So tune your radio to 97.3 FM between 7 and 10 p.m. to get the latest on Young People and Politics

She has found another nice quote by Barack Obama on why people should get involved in politics:
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." –Barack Obama

Intro

The Young People and Politics Foundation was founded on August 28, 2009 to bridge the gap between the youth and politics in Curaçao.

We believe that the political power of young people should be built in order to achieve progressive change in our country. We are young, fresh, enthusiastic, energized and independent. We empower young people who want to claim their voice in the political process and change the way politics is done.

Vision

To awaken the passion for political awareness and involvement in all young people of Curaçao and create a sustainable and attractive political environment in Curaçao , in which active participation of young people is a condition sine qua non.

Mission

Our mission is to encourage political awareness and invigorate political activism among young people of Curaçao through unrelenting empowerment and continuous sharing of knowledge, resources and experiences.

Goal

The goal of Young People and Politics is to increase the participation and effectiveness of young people in politics by Educating, Empowering, and Energizing young people through:

- Access to resources (information and expertise of others, experts and practitioners);
