Women’s protest in the city: ‘All women work, only a few get paid’

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the feminist organization The Wave is organizing a protest in the Eindhoven city center this Sunday. ‘All women work, only some get paid’ – or: ‘All women work, only a few get paid’ is the motto of the protest.

The demonstration is all about women and work. “We will be discussing, among other things, the pay gap between men and women, maternity leave and harassment in the workplace,” says Juliana Bosch, founder of The Wave Eindhoven. About 100 protesters are expected to attend.

Conscience

With the protest, the organizers would like to create awareness and commemorate the origins of International Women’s Day. “We have collected various data on women and work. For example, 1 in 8 women report being sexually harassed in the workplace. We will also share this data during the protest.”

The demonstration is on the 18 Septemberplein. “We will bring posters and music,” said the organization.

Artists ‘doing their thing’ on pillars in Heuvel shopping centre

Artists ‘doing their thing’ on pillars in Heuvel shopping centre

A large pillar as a blank canvas and paint whatever you want. Four artists took on four pillars for the urban art project UPRIGHT in Eindhoven’s Heuvel shopping centre.

Each artist was given their own pillar and the design was up to them. In total, there were almost 200 entries. This allowed the jury to make a selection. Each pillar was therefore painted in a different style. You can see the abstract and organic work of Andre HZS. But also the colourful and illustrative work of Kid Kura. Realistic animals and plants were painted on Nina Valkhoff’s pillar. Space was also given to new talent.

Upright
Jasper van Es, founder of the project, believes it is important that street artists are also be treated seriously and paid. And that they are given space to tell their own story.

“After all, in street art this is not at all obvious. They are often told exactly what to put on a wall and a design first goes past the marketing department. In the end, it’s more like an advertising mural. In my projects, I always want to challenge urban artists to search for their own artistic identity. And in this project I succeeded. Each pillar is really almost a portrait of its creator”.

‘Alleen met de goden’ new performance by Afslag Eindhoven

Abandonment, survival and disrupted family relationships. That’s what the new performance “Alleen met de goden” (alone with the gods), by Afslag Eindhoven theatre group is about. On Thursday 16 March the first performance will be brought to the stage.

When 11-year-old Aaron’s father is convicted of murder, he and his mother are left behind. His mother has her hands full with her own grief, and because of his father’s huge debt, they live in poverty. Aaron is mostly alone. Yet there are people who continue to believe in him, including his kickboxing trainer Art.

During the performance, Yvonne Beukering, the show’s director, wants to focus on the imperfect human being, plodding, fighting and dreaming.

Bestseller
The performance is based on the book “Alleen met de goden” by Alex Boogers. In 2016, the book was awarded the ‘Nederlandse Boekhandelprijs’  (dutch bookstore prize) and nominated for the ‘Libris Literatuurprijs’ (Libris literature prize). Director Yvonne Beukering was touched by the story and turned it into a performance.

“It is a tremendously recognisable story for me. My mother, too, was raised under difficult circumstances and was not exactly a loving mother. She suffered through life. Yet we loved her. Aaron shows man as I like to see him myself: vulnerable, longing and struggling. That in spite of all the misery you overcome by faith in your own strength”.

Veldhoven mayor opens education event by Eindhoven News and Microlab

Registration for secondary school admissions starts this week, and the education event by Eindhoven News and Microlab on Thursday helped many families decide. The event focussed on bilingual curriculum and whether it suits international children.

International parents whose children grow up in the Netherlands are often at crossroads about the education path of their children. Should the children be global and attend an international school or follow a bilingual curriculum or switch to a Dutch way of education? The choice of internationalised bilingual education is a recent addition and hence adds to the parents’ challenge of making the best choice for their children.

Mayor of Veldhoven

Mayor of Veldhoven Marcel Delhez opened the event. In his speech, he stressed the importance of internationalisation as well as learning the Dutch language. Standing there as a Brainport representative, he said he believes in the importance of Brainport for all. The audience expressed their enthusiasm that the mayor found the time to attend the event to make internationals feel included.

The event started with a presentation on the secondary education system in the Netherlands from Natascha Zijderveld- de Vries of Istart international school. The next segment of the event was the presentations from three secondary schools with specialised bilingual curricula. A big thank you to the participating schools, Heerbeeck college (Best), Stedelijk college (Eindhoven) and Sondervick college (Veldhoven). Thanks to the SKPO group of schools and the SALTO group of schools for actively encouraging the participation of parents.

Robert van der Vorst of Heerbeeck college, Terrance de Vries of Stedelijk college and Patricia van Berkel of Sondervick college presented the highlights of the bilingual curriculum in their respective schools. However, Patricia van Berkel also outlined features of the international stream starting this fall. Beena Arunraj, the director of Eindhoven News, moderated the panel discussion that followed. The questions to the panellists Robert van der Vorst, Patricia van Berkel and Terrance de Vries shone light on the various aspects of the secondary education system. Please watch our features column for more detailed informative articles on this topic. Many questions were put forth by the internationals to the panellists and other education sector leaders who attended the event.  

PSV ready for cup match: ‘There must be no lack of motivation’

PSV ready for cup match: ‘There must be no lack of motivation’

PSV will play against ADO Den Haag in the Philips Stadium on Thursday evening. At stake is the semi-final of the KNVB Cup. Ruud van Nistelrooij looked ahead to the match on Wednesday.

On Wednesday it was announced that first goalkeeper Walter Benítez had been injured the day before. A loss, says Van Nistelrooij. “Walter has played everything, has been important and has brought stability. It’s a downer that he can’t play. On the other hand, we also have a top second goalkeeper in Joël Drommel – I can’t even call him that, I prefer to speak of two first goalkeepers. He can now show what he can do, and that is a lot.”

“Drommel has played two cup matches and a Europa League match,” says Van Nistelrooij. “So that’s not much. He has as much rhythm as he could have and that’s a good thing.”

“He has to be there now. And I have every confidence in Joel’s qualities. He has done well in the games he has played so far. He also brings out the best in himself every day during training. That is why we are convinced of its qualities. It is terrible for Walter that we have lost him because he has done very well. But the confidence in Joël and his qualities is there,” says the coach.

It is not clear when Benítez will be back. “We agree with the player how we communicate about this, so we do not put a date on it. And rightly so, because the player is about his health and what comes out concerning his medical data.”

Dick Advocaat

Dick Advocaat, now head coach of ADO Den Haag, returns to the Philips Stadium for the cup match. A special encounter for Van Nistelrooij. “I played under Advocaat, and worked with him for the Dutch national team, then we were both assistant trainers under Danny Blind. He is a great trainer and great person. We are a bit apart in terms of experience, but it is nice to face each other tomorrow.”

“I always find him very clear and clear in his point of view. You can always see that in the teams he has trained. He has won a European Cup with Zenit St. Petersburg, he has trained national teams, World Cups and European Championships to his name. He is one of the greatest Dutch trainers ever. And he has done well everywhere, he has, so to speak, had the entire Eredivisie under his wing. As a player I always enjoyed working with him. He is very clear, communicates clearly, and he is a blood fanatic.”

Grand Prize

“We see the cup as the main prize, so it is extremely important. We defend last season’s cup win, the goal is to reach the semi-finals tomorrow. From the start of the season, we have set ourselves the goal of winning the Johan Cruijff Scale, winning the cup, becoming national champion and at least wintering in Europe. Now we are participating to get to the last four, then there should be no lack of motivation.”

Infirmary

In addition, Van Nistelrooij has a largely fit selection. “In terms of fitness, Hazard is still injured. The rest is available. Boscagli has accompanied Jong PSV to England for the Premier League Cup. At Jong he can make more minutes than we can offer him here. El Ghazi has also had a good training week. He can connect,” says Van Nistelrooij.

At 107 years old, Hinke is the oldest in Eindhoven: ‘A lot of sports and staying busy’

At 107 years old, Hinke is the oldest in Eindhoven: ‘A lot of sports and staying busy’

The liberation of Eindhoven, the construction of the Evoluon and the establishment of the Drents Dorp. The average resident has heard of these from the history books, but Hinke Klaver-De Vries has experienced them all. At 107 years old, she is the oldest resident of the city.

“Work out a lot and stay busy,” she sums up her secret to a long life. It was not always an easy life. In 1930 she moved with her parents from Leeuwarden to Eindhoven. Her father had got a job at Philips. However, there was one condition: one of the children also had to work in the factory. So it happened that Hinke was already working in the light bulb factory on Emmasingel at the age of 14.

Child labor

She had to measure the contact points of the light bulbs. A seemingly simple task, but the bar was set high. “We as newcomers had to do 7,000 a day, while the experienced employees didn’t even reach 6,000. Just child labour,” she sighs.

Eight years later, her working life came to a temporary end. She married her beloved Jan Klaver. In those days getting married meant she had to stop working. However, sitting still was and is not something for the oldest inhabitant of Eindhoven. In the years that followed, Hinke became a handball instructor and gave swimming lessons. In her own words, she taught ‘half of Eindhoven’ to swim.

Royal award 

It wasn’t until she was in her late eighties that she decided to slow down in physical sports, as the 107-year-old had now discovered games on the tablet. With Wordfeud, online scrabble, she still shows her granddaughters ‘a tough match’. “It’s a pity that she still beats us, but we wish her success,” says granddaughter Janine Jongepier with a smile.

Hinke is not only successful in mind sports. Now in nursing home Peppelrode, Hinke can look back on a successful life as well, receiving a royal decoration for her efforts as a swimming teacher in 1996.

PSV halves capacity of visitors seating section at Philips Stadium

PSV halves capacity of visitors seating section at Philips Stadium

PSV has decided, effective immediately, to halve the amount of supporters who can enter the Philips Stadium’s visitors seating section. The construction is not sturdy enough to support large groups of jumping supporters.

An investigation revealed that. If large groups of supporters and at the same time jump rhythmically, the construction can fail. The investigation was initiated after a game against NEC in October 2021, the outbox partially collapsed.

Because of the investigators’ conclusions, PSV decided to have the entire stadium investigated. This revealed that the visitors seating section could potentially be damaged, the rest of the stadium is safe, PSV announced.

To make the visitors seating section section safe again for full capacity, adjustments must be made to the current construction, Philips Stadium director Sjors van den Boogaart announced. The capacity restriction does not affect the match against Sevilla, FC Twente, which visits at the weekend, cannot bring all away supporters, however.

Sevilla and FC Twente
“We opt immediately for a temporary solution in the form of a capacity restriction, a reinforcement and in the meantime we continue to work on a permanent solution. Sevilla will come to Eindhoven on Thursday with a limited number of fans so there is no problem, as it fits within the adjusted capacity. For the match against FC Twente we unfortunately cannot accommodate all the guests from Enschede”, Van den Boogaart said.
