The first challenge, set by Patronaat, focuses on addressing the lack of nightlife options for young people in Haarlem, especially for those aged 14-18. This group, having grown up during the pandemic and with less exposure to alcohol, is harder to engage. Patronaat aims to create safe spaces for this new generation to experience nightlife responsibly, despite concerns about issues such as excessive drinking, drug use, and disruptive behavior. The goal is to find ways to introduce young people to nightlife while ensuring safety and inclusivity.
