ABOUT US

Anker info GMP algeeen

Big People Talk

Grote Mensen Praat (GMP) is a social and community organization that supports young people aged 16 to 27 in the transition to young adult life, through training , drop-in consultations and our online platform .

Many young people experience the path to adulthood as complicated, overwhelming and unclear. Big People Talk wants to lower the threshold by offering information through education, through institutions that are committed to young people and through an online platform.

Doel

Our goal is to ensure that young people know what to arrange, to be prepared for adult life and that young adults are kept informed of current information relevant to arranging 'adult affairs'.

Our Trainings

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

THE PROBLEM

Ignorance

Young people are not sufficiently aware of their rights and obligations and of what they need to arrange once they turn 18 and thereafter.

Convenience & Lack of self-reliance

Veel jongeren leven in het moment en kijken niet ver vooruit, waardoor ze vaak afhankelijk zijn van hun ouders voor het regelen van zaken. Ouders nemen de regelzaken dan ook vaak op zich. Niet alle jongeren ontvangen echter ondersteuning van hun ouders of verzorgers.

Communicatie barrière

Many government agencies do not speak the same language as young people

Lack of ownership

Young people see school as a logical place to learn about rules, but this is not included in the curriculum. Schools do not take an active role in guiding students through the transition to young adulthood, while most young people, especially those without parental support, need this.
