"I think the project has great potential, as there is a huge lack of connection between our community and the city. The students at United World College come from all parts of the world and wish to share their cultural heritage and history from their own countries to their peers, however are limited in what they will get to know about Maastricht and its historical and cultural heritage as they are secluded on an island in the outskirts of the city. Therefore, the project with the LGOG gives us the opportunity to get to know a new part of Maastricht and also the history behind it, which allows for the youth within the project to inform the rest of the community about it and engage them with the city. Personally this project means a lot to me as I finally feel connected to the city I live in, which I did not before even though I lived here for nearly a year."
