Future Mentors Eindhoven

We are engaged young citizens that are ambitious and full of energy. Our goal is to let the city leaders of today, be inspired by the city leaders of tomorrow. We want to connect youth to city leaders and let them design the city of the future together; because the youth of today will be living in the city of the future. The Future Mentors Programme first started in 2022 during the European Year of the Youth, which was organised by the European network Eurocities. During this year, the Future Mentors Programme took place in 26 cities. In Eindhoven, we mentored mayor John Jorritsma. Through using creative design methods, we brainstormed with him on making a futureproof city. This was evaluated positively, so we continued developing the Future Mentors Programme. In the first half year of 2023, the Future Mentors Programme was further developed through research in Eindhoven, holding interviews with experts in our network and expanding the European network. Let’s design the future of Eindhoven together!
