The premise of this play follows a group of best friends who are preparing the wedding of one of the group. It shows how they cope with setbacks, misfortunes, and personal dilemmas. In order to get everything ready, they meet regularly in their local pub, ‘The Ex-Pact Cafe.’

The cast:

  • Beatriz Ramos Vaquero (Spain)
  • Cécile de Vree (The Netherlands)
  • Esther Cavini (Italy)
  • Etem Özel (Turkey)
  • Lupe Garcia Moreno (Spain)
  • Pelagia Sykoudi Amanatidou (Greece)
  • Sankalp Jain (India)

Director of the play: Sara-Joan van der Kallen (SARAJOAN)

Annual Eindhoven Torchlight procession on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, the traditional Eindhoven Torchlight procession for Peace and Tolerance will take place.

From 6 o’clock on the Wilhelminaplein the issuance of torches will start. The first torch is lit at seven o’clock. The fire that ignites that torch is the World Peace Flame. It has been burning since 1999 and is used to light monuments, candles and lights around the world. Shortly afterwards the journey begins.

History
The first procession took place in 1992. This was the result of an attack on Turkish migrants in the German Solingen and incidents with a racist motive in the Netherlands. Since then, the procession has always been characterized by a tolerant and respectful society.

Bringing locals and internationals together with ’30 Seconds’

Bringing locals and internationals together with ’30 Seconds’

The popular game 30 Seconds is used in Eindhoven as a tool to facilitate meeting people from other countries as well as the Dutch.

Maybe you have played the ’30 Seconds’ game at your house during the holidays: ‘guess as many topics as possible that are cryptically described in under 30 seconds’. A super-fast game that often gets a lot of people laughing.

The familiarity and accessibility of ’30 Seconds’ are the starting points for organizers Frank van der Vleuten and Irene Martens of SamenUITagenda and Eindhoven News. They organise a monthly event in The Student Hotel in which the popular game is centralised. “Whether you speak Dutch or can only understand English,” says Frank van der Vleuten, “the design of the game is an easy way for everyone to laugh with each other.”

These evenings are not only organised because of the popularity, but also to contribute to the integration within Eindhoven. “At Eindhoven News and SamenUITagenda we notice that there is a great need for activities for internationals to interact with the Eindhoveners,” says Irene Martens. “The game brings local and international Eindhoven people into contact with each other by playing in mixed groups, with the result that cultures learn to open up to each other and get to know each other.” The next ’30 Seconds Game Night will be organized on 8 January 2019 at 8 pm in The Student Hotel in Eindhoven. “Above that, it is a pleasant way to improve your Dutch and English, adds Irene.”

SamenUIT/ OUTtogether:
SamenUITagenda/ OUTtogether is a new social network. This online platform is for everyone in Eindhoven! Young, old, international, groups or organisations. Through this platform you can easily meet new people and do fun things. Think of jointly going to a performance, cooking together, making music together or practicing for the marathon.

Eindhoven News:
Eindhoven News provides news and background articles in English for internationals in Eindhoven. By providing news, events and opinion articles in English for the international community of Eindhoven. We hope internationals feel informed, at home, welcome and connected to Eindhoven. The news is about Eindhoven and surroundings and they also publish a selection of events suitable for non-Dutch speakers.

International happiness in Eindhoven

This Saturday sees the start of Dutch Happiness Week (DHW). The Student Hotel will be hosting several of the events taking place during this initiative. 

The events held at The Student Hotel will be specifically geared toward Eindhoven’s international community. There are many Dutch-oriented events in the city, such as the DHW. But for the first time, since the start of DHW five years ago, there will also be English events.

These events are to be hosted by The Student Hotel Eindhoven and will touch base on two themes – finding your own happiness and finding your happiness at work.

On Tuesday evening, 19 March, between 19:00 and 20:00, Jerome Wehrens from B-MIND will hold a free lecture, simply entitled, ‘Happiness’. He will share his personal experiences on his way towards happiness and growth.

Then, on Wednesday, 20 March, Marielle Obels from Career Connection will tell you more about finding professional happiness. She is a career coach, so she has a lot of knowledge to share. This ‘Work Happy’ seminar is a free hour-long event and starts at 19:30.

Both these events will take place The Student Hotel’s auditorium. The Student Hotel is at 1 Stationsweg. Interested? Then please book your spot before Monday, 18 March on the respective Facebook event pages.

The DHW official afterparty will also be held at The Student Hotel on Sunday, 24 March from 16:00. Entrance is free for DHW visitors.

A musical remembrance of Tagore and Nazrul in Eindhoven: A magical evening of poetry, dance & music

The Indian Heritage and Cultural Foundation organised a cultural evening of remembrance to mark their respects to the poet laureate of India, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Tagore is India’s National poet, the first Asian and the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel prize for Literature in 1913 for his collection of poems, Gitanjali (Song Offerings). It was also an evening to celebrate the birth anniversary of the national poet of Bangladesh, Kazi Nazrul Islam (1899-1976).

The programme was held in the prestigious Park Theatre in Eindhoven on 25 May 2019 from 17:00 onwards. Renowned Rabindra & Nazrul Sangeet exponents, university scholars, western vocalist, eminent dancers, elocutionist, and instrumentalists from across the country performed in this programme to pay their humble tribute to these two literary stalwarts. They mesmerised the audience with their soulful performances.

This exclusive programme was free and open to the public and was attended by people from all parts of the Netherlands, including Eindhoven. The organisers believe in Tagore’s philosophy of “oneness of humanity” and are committed to celebrating his vast creation that focuses on intercultural understanding.

The programme’s chief guest, Ms Miriam Frosi, City Councillor (CDA, Eindhoven Municipality) who strongly believes in diversity helping in creating a better and intelligent society, spoke about the values of such intercultural events. “I am happy to be a part of this event, and we are enriched by the values of Tagore and Nazrul. A magical evening of poetry, dance and music.” She thanked the organisers for hosting such a programme and spoke of her pleasure to learn about Tagore’s visit to the Netherlands in 1920 and his association with the Dutch utopian thinker and writer, Frederik Willem van Eeden, who translated many of Tagore’s creations in Dutch.

Meerhoven24 charity relay race scrapped

Meerhoven24 charity relay race scrapped

The Meerhoven24 walking weekend, which raised money for the Make A Wish Foundation, has been scrapped.

Meerhoven24, a 24-hour relay race in which several teams raise money for charity, has become a household name in Meerhoven over the past decade. However, its Board decided that the costs were not worth it. “It really takes a lot of time and energy”, Fred Gundlach, founder of the event, says. “When I said that to the rest of the Board, it turned out even more people felt that way. In the end, four out of six people preferred to stop”. A substitute event was sought, but this did not work out.

Gundlach called it a pity that ‘his’ event has ended, and looks back with melancholy. “It’s very double. I’m looking forward to more rest, but we’ve also seen such wonderful editions”. Preparations for the last edition are therefore more emotional than ever. “I look back at films from previous years and it affects me more than usual. I hope we can make a fantastic final edition”.

A record number of teams will participate in the final edition: 29 in total. With this last run, the organisation hopes to have donated a total of half a million euros to Make A Wish, across all editions.

Breakdance WC to held soon

The 12th edition of the World B-Boy Classic will be held on Sunday, 8 September. The World B-Boy Classic forms part of EMOVES Urban Eindhoven.

The EMOVES festival has been split up into different weekends this year. Organisers, Paul van Dal and Niek Traa, are happy with this. “This split allowed us to choose the best dates and locations for our event,” says Paul.

“We did not have to take all the other sports and cultural events into account. These previously all took place together in one weekend. We can now fully focus on our event, and that results in an even stronger event.”

Top event

The World B-Boy Classic is one of the most prestigious breakdance competitions in the world. Every year, hundreds of dancers vie for the more than €10,000 prize money and a place in the Duo breakdancing Hall of Fame.

This championship was first held in 2009 in Rotterdam. It has called Eindhoven home since 2013. Ten qualifying rounds are held worldwide in countries such as Japan, Brazil, and South Korea.

The winners of these rounds will travel to Eindhoven. Here, they will do battle to see who will be crowned as the annual World B-Boy Classic champion. Previous year’s competitions were viewed more than 20 million times online.

During the day, qualifying rounds will be held at Dynamo. The World Final will start at 19:00 in the Effenaar. Although space is limited in the Effenaar, there are still a few places open.

Please visit www.worldbboyclassic.com for more information, and to purchase tickets.
