Trust in the government is low among many people. The recent election results show that. On the other hand, recent fraud investigations also showed a huge distrust from the government in the benevolence of citizens. How do we solve this? Are the many citizen collectives in Rotterdam the missing link between citizens and government?
Professor Tine de Moor takes you into the world of citizen collectives during the 20th Rotterdamlezing. A citizen collective is a group of people who unite to pursue common goals relevant to their community. On Monday 13 May, she will talk about how citizen collectives help and can help the city of Rotterdam in the future.
The Rotterdam Lecture will take place at Debatpodium Arminius and is free to attend for all interested parties. However, we kindly ask you to register in advance via our website.
Please note: this event is in Dutch. A recording of the event with English subtitles will be posted a week after the event.

The lectures always have a keen eye for the most current challenges for Rotterdam.
