At the JIP, Ms. Laila, the Agency’s expert on JSO welcomed us and lectured about JIP and some case examples.  The meeting was followed with discussion. The students also took a variety of brochures containing information about youth’s problems and advices.

The aim of this visit was to give the students a first-hand experience after getting some theories about youth problems in Sociology classes. Moreover this field-trip was to allow the students to practice their Dutch in real context.
