Vse Bude Dobre – All Be Good
When Ukraine is in the news, people don’t often hear about the situation of children. And if they are in the news, we hear about children, not from them. Vse Bude Dobre – All Be Good is a 45-minute documentary that wants to give young people the space to tell their own story: in their own words and through their own cameras. They speak about their lives and fears, but also their passions and dreams.

Vision of Children
Since the age of 9, I have been working on defending children's rights. I did projects, gave speeches and worked with organisations, politicians and other young people, all focussing around the right to a voice, a future and a change.
Het Recht op een Stem
After making my debut in 2021 at the age of fourteen with 'Our Right', a book about fellow children's rights activists, In 2023 I picked up the pen to tell my own story. About lessons learned regarding child participation, and highlighting both good and bad experiences I had.
Some ideas are best shared out loud.

Online Advocacy
Social Media
Advocacy for youth issues does not only happen in conference rooms. On social media, I try to reach a broad audience and encourage people to listen more to young people and take their perspectives seriously. I also make videos with young people to amplify their views. At the same time, social media allows me to reach young people directly: to encourage them to speak up, trust their own voice and find ways in which they can make an impact. I do this by sharing opportunities, advices, and making videos with politicians and policy-makers for them to explain how young people can engage.
