*NEW* Family guide The Netherlands, do better!
Location | Beautiful Distress
A unique family guide has been developed for the exhibition, which children aged 8 to 12 can follow with their parents/guardians. As a child, you take on the role of a budding activist. At the start of the exhibition, children are encouraged to think about a form of injustice.
During the exhibition visit, the children develop a goal for which they will take action and go through the phases that Nederland Wordt Beter had to go through during 15 years of Black activism. In this way, the children leave with a representative image of what it means to be an activist and take with them a cause they can continue to fight for.
Entrance to this exhibition is free for all!
