As a former UN youth representative of the Netherlands, Jahkini had the opportunity to speak with thousands of Dutch young people. She took their input to New York and Geneva to give speeches at the United Nations and negotiate resolutions. When her mandate ended, she started doing research on her own generation, Generation Z. Now she works as a consultant and keynote speaker to provide insight into the world of Generation Z and facilitate intergenerational dialogue. As a Gen Z speaker she has had the opportunity to work with companies such as Deutsche Telekom and the European Parliament. More than half of the world’s population is young, so young people are not only the future, but also the present.
