Rotterdam is a vibrant international city. A city that accommodates 600.000 people and no less than 160 different nationalities. These people give Rotterdam the international atmosphere you feel everywhere you go. This global feeling is due to the fact that Rotterdam is situated on the water and for forty consecutive years has been the world’s largest port.
In participating in the My Generation thematic network Rotterdam aims to learn how to organize an integrated policy on employment and human capital directed at young people. To emphazise the importance of young people in Rotterdam, the city has proclaimed itself European Youth Capital 2009.

“MY GENERATION for me is an exciting opportunity to try and transform the way we connect to the young and across generations, and also to transform the way workshops, meetings and projects are run in terms of learning, action and also using multi-media. These transformations are needed to have a better interface and genuine cooperation and joint-production with the young, stakeholders and experts like myself.”Robert Arnkil, lead expert for MY GENERATION
