Eindhoven welcomes some 900 new ‘Nederlanders’

906 Eindhoven residents from 86 different countries received Dutch nationality this year. During a naturalisation meeting, they were put in the spotlight in the Muziekgebouw.

The new residents of the city come from all corners of the world. The three countries where most new residents who received a Dutch passport this year have their origin are Syria (174), India (162) and Turkey (55).

The memorable moment was celebrated with snacks, drinks and speeches. “They have had an integration course and learned the language. Let’s make this a special day too”, said deputy mayor Rik Thijs.

“I never thought I would give up my Indian nationality for a Dutch passport. But that is happening now. I have felt very welcome in my environment, with friends and colleagues”,  says one of the 906 new Dutch people who have found a place in Eindhoven.

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”.

Stepping, scooting and skating at Kids Urban Culture Festival

Stepping, scooting and skating at Kids Urban Culture Festival

No soccer lessons or field hockey lessons, but freestyle soccer and stunt stepping on Ketelhuisplein last weekend. The E-moves Urban Culture Festival at Strijp-S targets children for the first time.

This is part of the new policy to get as many people as possible into Urban Sports in Eindhoven. Andrey Grekhov, artistic director of organiser E-moves, is proud of the event. “It is good to give attention to self-expression and creativity from an early age, that can be an outlet for children”, he said. He wipes the sweat from his forehead. “In addition, we picked a beautiful, warm day. Ketelhuisplein turns into an oven on a day like today, haha!” Visitors to the Urban Culture Festival could engage in BMX, skating, free-running, (hip-hop) dance, scooting, freestyle basketball and even graffiti, among other activities.

Like father, like son

“You notice that creativity is in a bit of a decline lately, which is why it’s extra good that kids are being introduced to Urban Sports today”, a father says. His son is about five metres away spraying his name on a cardboard with a graffiti spray can. “I come from this scene myself, so it’s extra cool to see him so interested too!” A woman wearing a white Hello Kitty shirt is also enjoying the sunny day at Strijp-S. “I feel like a little kid again”, she laughs. “Whether you want to step, swim or play sports: there’s plenty to choose from”.

Further along, a girl drops down on a beanbag. “I already come here to the square sometimes to skate, then I also find it very cool. I like to see other kids getting on their scooters. If they start young they also have plenty of time to make the choice which sport they want to practice”.
“I do hate it when there are sluggish kids on the track”, a boy sighs, wearing a helmet. Still, it shouldn’t spoil the fun. “I go here every year. Often I don’t have anything to do on Saturdays, luckily now I do”.

First female employees of Philips honoured

The ‘Maria Boogersstraat’ and the ‘Adriana van Buullaan’ could just become new street names on Strijp-S. The municipality of Eindhoven would like to honour the first two female employees employed by the company.

They both started in 1891, when the electronics group also started in Eindhoven. Gerard and Anton Philips, who formed the basis of the company, mainly hired girls to assemble light bulbs. Van Buul and Boogers (both born in 1879) therefore as the very first.

Lamp makers

Many companies are now trying to find a good balance between men and women in the workplace. “Philips has been involved in this from the outset,” says Rik Thijs, alderman for public space. “Since its foundation, the company has employed many women who were specially recruited to make lamps.”

Many employees in the early days of Philips were called ‘lamp makers’. A statue was once erected for that group. The municipality now wants to express its appreciation to the first two employees with the street names.

The municipality is currently looking for relatives of both women.
