Traditional torchlight procession in inner city cancelled again

The annual torchlight procession (Fakkeltocht) in Eindhoven on Christmas Eve will not take place this year. At least not physically, but the tradition will be continued digitally.

According to the organisation, a physical march for tolerance, in which thousands of people participate annually, is not responsible because of the Corona situation. However, there is a live stream, with photos and videos expressing the message of solidarity, freedom and respect. The stream can be followed on Instagram and Facebook on Christmas Eve.

Tradition

The torchlight procession has been held since 1992. Thousands of people first gather on  Wilhelminaplein, holding a torch. The crowd then walks through the city centre.

The initiative was triggered by an attack on Turkish migrants in Solingen, Germany, in the 1990s. Five people lost their lives. The torchlight procession is therefore dedicated to tolerance and a tolerant society.

Eindhoven band hosts benefit evening to support Ukrainian band

Eindhoven band hosts benefit evening to support Ukrainian band

The Eindhoven band Komatsu will hold a rock benefit evening on Tuesday for the war victims in Ukraine. The formation will also do this to give a Ukrainian rock band a boost.

That band, the Somali Yacht Club, had to cancel their entire tour of Europe because of the war. Next Tuesday, the men were to perform in the Eindhoven Effenaar. The band from Lviv is not allowed to leave the country. The band members showed pictures of the events in their country on social media. “We want you to see this. This is what war in Europe looks like”, they said.

Deeply moved

‘Our staff is deeply touched by all the events and the despair that speaks from the message of Somali Yacht Club’, the pop venue reveals. That’s why the venue will now hold a stoner rock night with Komatsu, but this time for Giro555. Somali Yacht Club will be paid the agreed amount for the performance.

Music connects

“It is good on all sides to support these hard-hit musicians. It is heartwarming that the local rock scene reacts so positively to this last-minute action, which suddenly feels even more urgent because of the absence of a Ukrainian band. Music connects,” says programmer Marco Roelofs.

Besides Komatsu, Trek Flek and An Evening with Knives are also on stage on Tuesday.

At Hojo event in Gemert, LGBT+ community can be completely themselves

At Hojo event in Gemert, LGBT+ community can be completely themselves

In Gemert, the Hojo camp is in full swing. The camp is organised by the Outway Foundation and is intended for young people within the LGBT+ community. It allows them to be completely themselves for a week.

“Here everyone has a story and I am better understood”.

48 young people between the ages of 13 and 25 are participating in this year’s Hojo camp, living with like-minded people for a week. “We have young people here from all over the Netherlands who really feel like themselves for a week and are not in the minority for a while. They get to know each other’s stories and also make friends”, counselor Bram Vermeulen explains.

During the camp, workshops are given on sexuality, gender, coming out and self-confidence. “It’s interesting to hear the experiences of others. I myself come from a small village and there it is not so normal to come out of the closet and here you are just a close group”, Senne (18) explains.

Understanding

Senne is Lesbian and as a result is not always understood everywhere. “The people who know don’t mind, but of course they don’t know what I feel. It’s not that I’m looked at weird, but can’t understand everything when it comes to LGBT+. That’s different here at Hojo camp”.

17-year-old Luuk can also relate to this. He was born a girl and now goes through life as a boy. “I have gone through quite a transition and have had a lot of support from my parents and family. They do understand me, but when I’m here at the camp with other transgender people, I feel more at ease”.

One stay at camp

Young people are only allowed to go to Hojo camp once, and Vermeulen says there’s a reason for that. “We want to give as many LGBT+ people as possible the chance to go to camp, but we also offer a Hojokamp 2.0 for young people who have already been once. Through the years we have been able to welcome over 1600 youngsters”, Vermeulen tells Studio 040.

For Senne and Luuk it will not be the last time, although the camp will end on Wednesday for them. “I’m going to miss it a lot. I’ve made lots of friends and heard great stories. It’s a shame we have to go home already”, Senne says. “I’ve heard about Hojo camp 2.0 and I’m definitely going to sign up for that. The time has gone much too fast”.

Maker Faire Eindhoven a huge success

This past weekend the Maker Faire took over Stadhuisplein. Held once every year in Eindhoven, the fair is a chance for children and adults to explore and try out brilliant experiments and out-of-the-box creations.

The fair brings together novices and experts whose collaboration has created a community that nourishes creatives in all fields.

Some highlights from this year’s fair include, but are not limited to robot races and robot soccer matches, adults and children having washing machine races, and a giant robot made of drums that play music; the hustle and bustle were spectacular.

The event was divided into outdoor booths and indoor fun in the Eindhoven City Hall building, with a room dedicated to games made out of light, and an area for drone flying. There were booths for children to make their own cars and hovercrafts, have robot battles, laser cutting workshops and brilliantly 3D printed statues, chess boards, and automated train tracks.

A family event filled with energy and creativity for everyone, one of the many highlighted events held in Eindhoven, and one that children are highly encouraged to attend, concluded as a success once again.

The Maker Faire is a place designed for creators to showcase their new innovative ideas and creations, and is open for all to present their work. For information on how to become a maker and showcase your work, or for next year’s event program and other Maker Faire locations, visit Maker Faire.

Prehistoric Village museum to travel back in time to Roman era

The pre-Historic Village museum will be transformed into a Roman village for more than a week from next Saturday. During the autumn half term, dozens of Romans will be walking around the Eindhoven open-air museum.

The week will take visitors back to the Roman period from about 50 to 150 years AD. From patrolling soldiers to Roman civilians, different layers of society will come together.

Children’s programme

There will be special activities for children including the chance to grind their own grain, bake bread and see examples of Roman clothing. There will also be reconstructions of Roman buildings that were actually in Eindhoven at the time.

The Roman week will continue until 30th October.

CDA and Ouderen Appèl want temporary emergency bridge to Stratumseind

CDA and Ouderen Appèl want temporary emergency bridge to Stratumseind

The little bridge over the Dommel between Stratumseind and Stratumsedijk will be closed for over a month. Ouderen Appèl Hart voor Eindhoven (elderly appeal heart for Eindhoven), (OAHvE) and the CDA (christian democrats) now want an emergency bridge to replace it.

Earlier, OAHvE asked council questions about the work on the little bridge because the group fears it will cost hospitality entrepreneurs money. Indeed, just during Glow and Dutch Design Week, the Stratumseind is now poorly accessible.

The groups would have preferred that the bridge could remain open in the weekend, something that entrepreneurs on Stratumseind would also have counted on. Therefore, the groups also want to know if something went wrong in the communication.

In addition, visitors to the major events taking place before December would have to detour at least 300 metres to get to Stratumseind, CDA and OAHvE write.

Finally, the groups report that, as far as they are concerned, an emergency bridge should be constructed. After all, that would have been done before.

Sint Lucas students win audience award GLOW

Sint Lucas students win audience award GLOW

Students of art school Sint Lucas won the audience award at the GLOW light festival with their artwork ‘Rainbow’. Through their work on the Vesteda tower, they wanted to spread the message that everyone can be themselves. This was appreciated by the visitors, because the Eindhoven MBO students received the most votes.

The students of the Podium- en evenementtechniek (Stage and Event Technology) programme were inspired by two things when creating the ‘Rainbow’: On the one hand by the magic of the rainbow, nature’s most beautiful light show. On the other hand, by the well-known rainbow flags, which show diversity in gender, race, age and all the other ways we differ from each other, according to the designers.

That fitted well with the message that the students of Sint Lucas wanted to spread. Namely that everyone can be themselves regardless of gender, sexual preference, race or age. With that they managed to touch the public, because the Rainbow received the most votes. The students not only received an award on Saturday, but also 1500 euros. The GLOW organisation will also keep in touch with the winner with a view to possible cooperation next year.

Professional jury

Next to the Audience Award, there was also a Talent Award to be won. The professional jury awarded one of the light artworks with a GLOW Talent Award. The Shadow Organ came out as the winner. The work tells the story of the negative and positive effects of the corona pandemic.
