For weeks, participants of Diversity Academy have been working on their own spoken word pieces. They have written, rewritten, questioned, taken risks and gradually found their voices. The result is a collection of texts about who they are, what they feel and what they stand for. Exploring themes such as gender, freedom, feminism, anti-racism and everything in between.
On 25 November, the moment has arrived. They will take to the stage and share their words. Honest, personal and sometimes confronting, but always entirely their own.
The date also marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, a day that calls for equality, safety and the right to be heard. On this day in particular, the young participants use their words to give a voice to things that often remain unspoken.
Come listen, experience and show your support. Because every voice deserves an audience.
Important: this evening will be in Dutch
