Treaty of Middelburg
I wish people would stop judging others. You still see it happening every day. You don’t even have to know someone to be judged. This is something I would really like to change if I could. It’s also connected to freedom — the freedom to simply be yourself.

Why do you want to participate?
I believe that freedom is very important. Every young person should be able to make their own choices in life. That is how we learn to do things. Even when we make mistakes, we learn from them.
What does freedom mean to you?
Freedom means a lot to me. It is important for everyone to have freedom and to be free. Everyone should be able to make their own choices in life. I just want to live my life — to do everything that's possible, so I have a story to tell.
What are the biggest challenges?
I think digital freedom and privacy are the biggest challenges for young people today. Everyone wants to express themselves, but on social media, you're often judged quickly. In reality, everyone should have the freedom to post and do whatever they want without fear of being criticized.
Do you have a message?
I hope that one day, there will be freedom for everyone without judgment. That everyone can do their own thing without being afraid of what others might think.
