Verre binding Cultural Festival
On Saturday, June 20, residents of azc Elderhoeve will open their doors to people from Arnhem and beyond for the fourth edition of the Verre binding Cultural Festival. Let us harvest what connects us. Welcome to the Garden of Life! Will you join us?
Harvesting what connects us
While refugees are often talked about at discussion tables and talk shows, the residents of Elderhoeve azc are opening their doors instead. They invite people from Arnhem and beyond to enjoy a day filled with music, dance, and workshops in the Garden of Life. A place to meet, listen to one another, and create new memories together. A special opportunity to harvest what connects us.
What can you expect?
Listen to inspiring stories, dance together to music, sample dishes from different cuisines, and take part in a variety of workshops. We do not close borders; instead, we welcome everyone with open arms to experience, connect, and discover. There will also be a continuous program of activities for children throughout the day. We hope to see you there!
Practical information
Date & Time | Saturday, June 20, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM
