Following the merger of Tessenderlo and Ham, the local government is working on a unified youth policy. To shape this, the municipality is calling on young people and their parents to share their opinions on topics such as leisure, sports, culture, well-being, and municipal services.
The survey results aim to provide insight into the expectations of the younger generation and the accessibility of current offerings. Participation is open until October 30, 2026, via the municipality's official website. The questionnaire is divided by age group, with parents completing the survey for children up to 12 years old.
To encourage participation, the municipality is raffling off various prizes, including sports camps, duo tickets for cultural performances, and free access to events at local youth centers. The collected data will serve as a basis for future policy decisions within the merged municipality.
