On February 3, Queen Máxima paid a working visit to the municipality of Tilburg as part of the MIND Us Leading Locals network. Tilburg is one of eleven front-runner municipalities participating in the network. The working visit took place at the Hall of Fame. Leading Locals is a learning network of MIND Us in which municipalities exchange best practices for addressing mental health challenges among young people in their cities and towns.
In Tilburg, young people and youth workers spoke about how they were involved in the creation of the action plan and the importance of youth participation in policymaking. Queen Máxima then took part in a workshop in which young people learned how to use their experiences with mental health challenges in a positive way. For the occasion, Queen Máxima wore a suit from Claes Iversen’s Autumn/Winter 2015 Haute Couture collection.
