The Province of Utrecht has just released the draft "Utrechts Programma Landelijk Gebied" (UPLG).

The consultation period for this 10-year plan is open until February 16, 2026.

It is vital that the voice of the next generation of young farmers, students, and rural youth is heard in this process.

We invite you to participate in "Young Voices for Utrecht’s Countryside,"

a practical Policy Sprint designed to translate youth perspectives into formal input ('zienswijze').

Moving beyond abstract discussion, this session is designed to produce actionable policy advice.

Participants will work in small groups to analyze the province's proposals on Water, Soil, and Agriculture,

and draft professional advice notes to be submitted to the government.

We would value your active participation as we work together to draft the vision for the future.
