WILLEMSTAD –

Op woensdag 6 mei 2026 heeft een delegatie van het Anne Frank Youth Network een bezoek gebracht aan de Gouverneur van Curaçao, Zijne Excellentie Mauritsz de Kort.

Tijdens het bezoek werd gesproken over plannen om op Curaçao een lokale afdeling van het netwerk op te zetten, in samenwerking met het Jewish Museum Curaçao. Het initiatief richt zich op jongeren in de leeftijdscategorie tussen 16 en 26 jaar en wil hen actief betrekken bij thema’s zoals mensenrechten, democratie, tolerantie en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid.

Het Anne Frank Youth Network is een internationaal initiatief dat jongeren inspireert om zich in te zetten voor sociale rechtvaardigheid en actief burgerschap. Daarbij staan bewustwording van de geschiedenis en het belang van dialoog centraal.

De Gouverneur sprak de hoop uit dat jongeren op Curaçao deze mogelijkheid benutten om samen na te denken over de lessen uit de geschiedenis en hun rol in de samenleving van vandaag en in de toekomst.
