  • Building Belonging | June 5th

    Open | Free
    Led by Rooted

    How do we build a shared sense of home in a superdiverse society?

    On June 5th, Rooted and Pakhuis de Zwijger launch Building Belonging — a multi-year initiative that shifts the conversation from individual integration to collective rooting. Together with public leaders, thinkers, and community voices, including Ahmed Aboutaleb and HER-member Noor Cornelissen, we create space for honest dialogue, lived experience, and new imagination.
