Youth ribbon for face of Buurt Opera Malpertuis

Yesterday Dunya Jongen (11) received a youth ribbon from alderman Manon Fokke and children’s mayor Joost de Goeij in Stadhuis Maastricht for her contribution to Buurt Opera Malpertuis of Opera Zuid. Dunya is the face of the Neighborhood Opera Malpertuis 2022.

Fokke: “Dunya is focused, driven, serious and respectful. The selection committee likes to see how Dunya is committed to society and all ages. She is a go-kart puller and takes other children with her. By being the face of Buuropera Malpertuis, she clearly indicates that she dares to be vulnerable at a young age and she is an example for other children.” The Limburger https://m.limburger.nl/cnt/dmf20230601_96089640

And of course we totally agree! A big congratulations from us as well. We are very proud of Dunya.

Buurt Opera Malpertuis is an initiative of Opera Zuid in collaboration with Conservatorium Maastricht, Trajekt and the Kunstketel and is made possible in part by CultuurmakersMaastricht, Fund for Cultural Participation, Municipality of Maastricht, Elisabeth Strouven Fund, Stichting Kanunnik Salden Nieuwenhof and the Oranje Fonds.
