Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy, in partnership with the Ministry of Political and Parliamentary Affairs, announces training courses on various topics related to political work outside the traditional framework. Another advantage of the training courses is that the skills section will focus on purely political and party work at all levels.

About the program:

The project aims to build the capacities of politically active youth, which is a project implemented by the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy in partnership with the Ministry of Political and Parliamentary Affairs.
It also aims to empower youth and women working in political parties and civil society institutions.
The project uses the theory of change to bring about positive change at three levels: institutions (parties), the system (the political environment and legislation) and societal culture around political parties.
The project aims to work every year with forty young men and women from political parties, in addition to those active in the political and social sphere who wish to join the party work.
