We challenge one-sided narratives in schools and teach students to think critically, debate respectfully, and form their own opinions. With respect for diverse cultures and rooted in faith, we connect, organize, and inform Generation Z. Together, we are building a movement that never gives up, brings a culture of debate to life at vocational schools, universities of applied sciences, and universities, and inspires young people to take control of their own future. This is not a club \u2014 this is a revolution.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div style=\"flex:1; min-width:280px;\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tpusa-netherlands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Turning-Point-Nederland-impact.png\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:10px; border:1px solid #ffffff;\">\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Ontstaan -->\n    <div id=\"ontstaan\" class=\"tpnl-tab-content\" style=\"display:none;\">\n      <div style=\"display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:30px; align-items:center;\">\n        <div style=\"flex:1; min-width:280px;\">\n          <h3 style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\">Origin<\/h3>\n          <p style=\"line-height:1.6;\">Turning Point Netherlands was born from a moment of reflection and action. After the attack on Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, a wave of global solidarity inspired us to start immediately \u2014 no endless planning, just decisive action. On September 15, 2025, TPNL went live, built from passion, vision, and the belief that young people shape the future.\nOur inspiration comes from Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, with the mission of shaping a generation that never gives up. TPUSA grew into thousands of chapters, active student groups, and faith-based communities, with core values like freedom, personal responsibility, and limited government. They taught young people not only to talk, but to act: to organize, debate, and inspire.\nIn the Netherlands, we apply this to our own history and society. From the Golden Age to the liberation of 1945, from local communities to international geopolitics, TPNL connects young people, organizes events, and encourages respectful debate. Faith plays a central role, giving direction and courage, just as it does at TPUSA. Together, we are building a generation that leads rather than follows, and a movement that never gives up. This is your movement.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div style=\"flex:1; min-width:280px;\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tpusa-netherlands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Charlie-Kirk.jpeg\" alt=\"Ontstaan afbeelding\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:10px; border:1px solid #ffffff;\">\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Impact -->\n    <div id=\"impact\" class=\"tpnl-tab-content\" style=\"display:none;\">\n      <div style=\"display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:30px; align-items:center;\">\n        <div style=\"flex:1; min-width:280px;\">\n          <h3 style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\">Our impact<\/h3>\n          <p style=\"line-height:1.6;\">Turning Point Netherlands mobilizes young people and provides them with the tools to make a real impact. In the first phase, we are building a core team of enthusiastic volunteers and young leaders who learn by doing \u2014 from small talks to large campus events and field debates on topics like freedom, responsibility, and a culture of debate.\nOur events and working groups connect young people through education, debate, and action. We use social media and local activities to reach Generation Z and inspire them to actively participate in society. Faith plays a central role, just as it does at TPUSA, and is integrated into our gatherings and partnerships.\nIn the long term, we aim to build a sustainable movement: chapters at schools and universities, annual conferences, debate clubs, and faith groups across the Netherlands. We measure success by engagement, attendance, and concrete actions taken by young people. Together, we are creating a generation that leads, a movement that never gives up, and a Netherlands where young people take control of their own future.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <div style=\"flex:1; min-width:280px;\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tpusa-netherlands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Turning-Point-Nederland-in-gesprek.png\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:10px; border:1px solid #ffffff;\">\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- Tab functionaliteit -->\n<script>\nfunction showTab(tabId) {\n  const tabs = document.querySelectorAll('.tpnl-tab-content');\n  const buttons = document.querySelectorAll('.tpnl-tab-btn');\n\n  tabs.forEach(t => t.style.display = 'none');\n  buttons.forEach(b => {\n    b.style.backgroundColor = '#E1E8ED';\n    b.style.color = '#142144';\n  });\n\n  document.getElementById(tabId).style.display = 'block';\n  const activeBtn = Array.from(buttons).find(b => b.getAttribute('onclick').includes(tabId));\n  activeBtn.style.backgroundColor = '#c6153b';\n  activeBtn.style.color = '#ffffff';\n}\n<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cd4365 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0cd4365\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e61ec2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"7e61ec2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"tpnl-block-wrapper\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin:0 auto;\">\n\n  <div class=\"tpnl-tabs-section\" style=\"background-color:#142144; padding:30px; border-radius:12px; font-family:sans-serif; color:#ffffff;\">\n\n    <!-- Titels -->\n    <div class=\"tpnl-block-titles\" style=\"display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:5px; justify-content:center; margin-bottom:20px;\">\n      <button class=\"tpnl-block-btn active\" data-target=\"tpnl-tab-onderwijs\">Education<\/button>\n      <button class=\"tpnl-block-btn\" data-target=\"tpnl-tab-identificeren\">Identify<\/button>\n      <button class=\"tpnl-block-btn\" data-target=\"tpnl-tab-mobiliseren\">Mobilize<\/button>\n      <button class=\"tpnl-block-btn\" data-target=\"tpnl-tab-organiseren\">Organize<\/button>\n      <button class=\"tpnl-block-btn\" data-target=\"tpnl-tab-activeren\">Activate<\/button>\n      <button class=\"tpnl-block-btn\" data-target=\"tpnl-tab-betrekken\">Involve<\/button>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Uitleg teksten -->\n    <div class=\"tpnl-block-contents\">\n      <div class=\"tpnl-block-content\" id=\"tpnl-tab-onderwijs\" style=\"display:block; padding:20px; border-radius:8px; background-color:#1b2b59;\">\n        <p>TPNL teaches young people about freedom, responsibility and truth.
