For Pastors and Others Interested
Elections for the Provincial Council will be held in March 2027. But what does the province actually do? And how can you make a difference? That’s why SKIN-Rotterdam is launching “Political Participation”: a program of six sessions where you’ll discover how politics works and how you can involve others in your church.
Will your church participate?
We’re looking for 6 pairs: a church leader or church volunteer paired with someone from the church, preferably a young person. Together, you’ll attend as many sessions as possible and bring your knowledge and experiences back to your church.
We’re starting in September!
Online Introduction to Political Participation
September 1 | 8:00–9:30 p.m. | Online
What does the province decide on, and how does it affect you? Former Provincial Council member Maikel la Rose will give you a brief and practical overview. Click here for more information and to register.
Visit to the Provincial Council of South Holland!
September 8 | 6:00 PM | South Holland Provincial Government Building, The Hague
Get an up-close look at how provincial politics works. You’ll meet Provincial Council Member Erica van Engel (VVD) and have the chance to ask your questions. Click here for more information and to register.
And after that? Off to Brussels!
In November, we’ll visit the European Parliament in Brussels with the participants. More information about Brussels and the other events in the program will follow shortly.
Join us, make your voice heard, and bring others from your church along!
