Last weekend at the Culturele Pleinmarkt, a panel including the alderman for public housing, culture and spatial planning of Gemeente Apeldoorn, Peter Messerschmidt, theater programmer of Theater en Congres Orpheus, Nicky van Rossum, the secretary of the board of Muziektheater Apeldoorn, Fried Zwerver, the culture connector of Stimenz, Abdulah Yetsik, theater maker Nericha Marchena, and the president of our own board, Tulya Kavaklioglu, discussed the accessibility of Apeldoorn's cultural offering to all Apeldoorners from diverse cultural backgrounds. This panel discussion was organized by WINC (werkgroep intercultureel). During the discussion, it became clear that there is much work to be done to help all Apeldoorners feel at home and take part in its cultural activities as active participants or as spectators. Our president Tulya stressed the importance of building bridges between people from diverse cultural backgrounds so that there is a perception of "diverse Apeldoorners" and not "the Dutch" and "the others". In her argument, Tulya gave examples from different cultural events: "It is of course important to have subsidies and initiatives focused directly on these cultural activities that fall into the diverse category. For example we had a great event called 'Meet Your World Festival' last year at GIGANT. The continuity for such events is very much needed. However, the highest value we create may come from building bridges and embedding the diversity we want to promote into the existing events. For example, another great event 'Maaiveld Festival' can benefit from having some performances that speak to a diverse audience or from using 'language no problem' tags. This way, we can slowly move from creating a Dutch program and a "diverse" program, and support cultural exchange between all Apeldoorners as a united and diverse group of people." Do you agree with our president? What do you think can help different Apeldoorners feel at home? Feel free to let us know in the comments or via private message. #apeldoorn #diversiteit #cultuur #winc
