Try something new and discover your talent with Try Out!
There is now something special for young people in the municipalities of Druten and West Maas en Waal. Try Out offers a varied range of sporting and cultural activities especially for young people between the ages of 12 and 18. It gives them the opportunity to try out new sports or creative hobbies without any obligation. And who knows, they might even discover hidden talents. The digital information booklet provides a handy overview of everything on offer. Most of the activities are free of charge.
The two neighboring municipalities have been working together for some time to introduce residents to new sporting and cultural activities. For example, there is already Sjors Sportief for young children and Max Vitaal for seniors. From now on, Try Out has been added to the range of activities on offer.
"With Try Out, we are giving young people in the municipalities of Druten and West Maas en Waal a great opportunity to discover new activities in an accessible and non-committal way," says Alderman Rob Reuvers. "This allows them to discover what suits them at their own pace, without having to immediately join a club. It's fantastic that we are working together as neighboring municipalities to create so many opportunities. This initiative not only helps to discover hidden talents, but also encourages personal growth and the formation of new friendships. I hope that as many young people as possible will seize this opportunity and, above all, enjoy their journey of discovery!"
The information booklet can be found at meedoeninmaasenwaal.nl. Young people can use this site to register for one or more activities they would like to try. Providers of sporting and cultural activities can also register here.
Alderman Gérard de Wildt, municipality of Druten: "We know, of course, that young people love to spend time on their cell phones, tablets, or computers. With the many fun activities that Try Out offers, we challenge young people to reduce their screen time. Instead, they can discover other things they enjoy. And they can make new friends with other young people who share their interests. It would be great if they encouraged each other to discover even more activities together. That's why it's important to have as many providers of different activities as possible. So that young people can try out lots of different things!"
