Opkikker International call for participants What is Opkikker? Opkikker is a big event organised by KLJ. It’s a weekend of fun, games, workshops and activities for around 650-750 participants. Those participants are all local leaders or volunteers of local KLJ-groups. As KLJ, we would like to organise an international exchange on the same days as the event. The exchange will have a separate programme, a separate group of participants, a separate theme. But we will use the facilities of Opkikker and take the opportunity to meet and see real Belgian youthwork. We will connect with Opkikker on 2 different occasions: The Opkikker evening and the Opkikker morning.
