Radio Anin

Hana Ibrahim will be our special guest with her radio show Radio Anin. We will talk with and hear about Syrian and Arab refugee experiences in the Netherlands, give practical tips and financial advice on Dutch burocracy, and share stories about fun and interesting aspects of Dutch culture with the audience.

Join us and interact with other people in a safe space for sharing and listening to one another.

Come to hear and talk about the experience of Syrian and Arab refugees in the Netherlands, and share some fun and typical aspects of Dutch culture.

Communities of The Hague

The Hague is a city rich in cultural diversity. To cherish the beautiful diversity of the city and the freedom we enjoy, we want to bring the people of The Hague together. As The International City of Peace and Justice, we invite you to share the freedoms we have and to help explore those that we should strive for.

Freedom Reflections

What is Freedom to you?

Be who you are
Have no fear
Live with dignity
Love who you want
Security
Have a ‘voice’
Make friends
Form communities
Be validated
Diverse perspectives

Freedom Conundrums

Total freedom is the worst thing you could wish for
Freedom is a contradiction
Freedom is at best, a happy chaos
Without a shared logic of humanity, there is no freedom

What do you think Freedom is?

Send us an email and let us know your thoughts!
