What a cool week this has been here in Dronten. We are located somewhere in the middle of the Netherlands and its really very pretty. This week was our immigration week - a hot topic everywhere in the world, including this land of bikes and stoupwaffels. This week we joined with local high school students (some of whom where immigrants themselves) to create an immigration policy that could apply to any country (real or imagined). This was sooo cool for me, as someone who wants to be an ambassador. It gave all of us the chance to see first hand the difficulties in policy making. We had to think logically but make it humane as well. It was awesome to hear everyones ideas and to see the final results. A panel of judges (many of whom where involved in this in real life) judged the policies and choose the one that was most realistic. Before we actually made the policies we talked with local community members involved in immigration in different ways. We read some literature about immigration in the Netherlands, and use all this to help us in our policy making. It was such a great opportunity for us!
