Wil jij Deltacommissaris Peter Glas jouw visie en ideeën geven over het Deltaprogramma 2023? Deltacommissaris Peter Glas vindt het belangrijk om jongeren te betrekken bij de vraagstukken voor vandaag en morgen (lees: website). Afgelopen jaar hebben 10 studenten van verschillende universiteiten en HBO’s in Nederland met een aantal Jeugddijkgrafen hun visie en ideeen over het Deltaprogramma 2022 gegeven aan Deltacommissaris Peter Glas en zijn staf. Het doel was om het Deltaprogramma een kritische blik te geven vanuit jongeren met hun visie en ideeën. In twee teams hebben de deelnemers gewerkt aan het advies en deze aan Deltacommissaris Peter Glas gepresenteerd. Delen van het advies zijn direct meegenomen in het Deltaprogramma 2022, dat op Prinsjesdag is gepresenteerd. Dit jaar een nieuwe ronde!
