Date and Time: Saturday, May 16 from 12:45 PM to 4:00 PM

Location: Vincentius' Hof, Westeinde 101A in The Hague.

How do you stay engaged, especially when things get tough? Where do you find courage and resilience – and what helps you keep going?

During this special afternoon, music and dialogue come together around these questions. In collaboration with Dialoog in Den Haag, Haagse Verbindende Initiatieven, Vincentius' Hof, and the Leo Smit Foundation, Initiatives of Change is organizing an open and inspiring gathering for everyone who feels connected to the world around them – as a professional, volunteer, or neighbor.*

We begin with music by ‘forbidden’ composers – music that was once not allowed to be heard, by people who maintained their courage and resilience in difficult times. Based on that experience, we will engage in conversation with one another. About what touches us, what keeps us going, and where we draw our strength from today.

Share your story, listen to others, and let yourself be moved by music. Meet new people and gain inspiration to stay involved, especially in times of tension and uncertainty.

You are most welcome.
