DWARS Utrecht tightens political programme

Last Sunday was the general membership meeting of GroenLinks Utrecht.
Here, members of GroenLinks were given the opportunity to submit amendment proposals in
serve for the political programme. DWARS Utrecht has done so,
making the youth perspective even more resonant in the programme. Here
find in a row what we have proposed, and what the final programme
achieved.

In the chapter Certainty and perspective About work becomes internship discrimination
additionally appointed alongside employment discrimination, as many young people seeking
to an internship here encounter. In addition, the same chapter now states
That work is not an end in itself, and that alongside work, volunteering is just as good
can be used as a means of recovery from mental vulnerability.
We have also tightened a point that in counselling for work, there should always be
suitable work should be sought. 

It further states that the municipality should actively retrain stimulate for jobs with social value. In particular,
we added jobs in the energy transition.

In the chapter Energy for the future we have sharpened a point
that Utrecht not only wants to, but is going to, phase out natural gas faster than
the national government to set an example for the rest of the country.

In the chapter More equality in healthcare now states that we also
Using experts by experience for youth aid education.
Experts by experience have a unique perspective on young people's problems, and
we need to make more use of this.

We also added that the municipality will deploy low-threshold facilities to help young people without barriers. There are already projects that show that non-committal, barrier-free
appointment and anonymous talking to professionals good for some young people helps.

We have also added a point in this section that employers have psychological
need to make health issues negotiable in the workplace, and
(financial) incentives should be given to people with mental
adopt vulnerabilities. In this way, vulnerable people also get
a fair chance to find a place.

In the chapter Good education for all now states that young people are structurally
should have a say in the municipality's policies on young people. Thus, the
municipality leading by example how we form inclusive policies by not over,
but talking to people.

DWARS Utrecht aims to keep GroenLinks on its toes. In this way
Do we influence the political line and attitude of GroenLinks the
next four years to make GroenLinks even more social, green and inclusive.
