At the Schellens Factory in Eindhoven, a benefit evening is to be held for Syrian war children on Friday, 6 July.

It is an initiative of the Eindhoven-Kobane Working Group, the Vredesburo (the Peace Office), and Kleurrijke Stad (Colourful City). Eyewitnesses of the war will tell their stories, and there is music. In addition, visitors are asked to make a donation.

The city that is central to this evening is the North Syrian Kobane. The city has largely been destroyed and is currently being rebuilt. Thousands of inhabitants were killed or injured. Many children were victims. With the charity effort, the promoters are trying to raise funds for teaching materials for a school in Kobane.

Eindhoven capital of urban culture

Eindhoven is leading in urban culture; sports and graffiti art. This is what people visiting Emoves, the Eindhoven urban festival at Strijp-S and the Berekuil state.

“I’ve moved from Amsterdam to Veldhoven, specifically for my sport. When it comes to urban sports in the Netherlands, it’s possible to do it here,” says professional bmx’er Daniel Wedemeijer. His colleague Tom van de Boogaard also agrees that Eindhoven is a hotspot for bmx.

Eindhoven municipality implements specific policies for urban sports, including space for a bmx park, skateboarding spots like Area 51 and soon a new place for free runners.

Graffiti artists from the Netherlands and abroad are also given plenty orders to give tunnels a facelift with their own art. A festival such as Emoves also contributes to a growing urban scene in the Eindhoven region.

“Nowhere in the Netherlands is the scene as big as in Eindhoven. In the past, many break-dancers, skateboarders and graffiti artists came from this city. At this festival you will see a beautiful melting pot of all these disciplines, and outsiders can also get acquainted with urban culture,” says Dave van den Berg of Emoves.

Last weekend some 1500 urban athletes and graffiti artists from 40 countries visited Eindhoven. Every year, Emoves attracts around 25,000 visitors.

Local events raised money for good causes

Sunday, two local events took place to help raise money for good causes. Both events were organized to help children.

KiKa

KiKa is a Dutch foundation helping Children with Cancer. The abbreviation stands for Stichting Kinderen Kankervrij (Children Cancer-Free Foundation).

This year, participants raised over € 115,000. The money will be used for cancer research and new treatment methods.

About a thousand took part in this event to help raise money. Participants could choose to run ten kilometers, five kilometers, or take part in the shorter KidsRun.

Alderman Steenbakkers was present, to put a number of children in the spotlight. This happens during the ‘Kanjerkroning‘.

During this ceremony, children with cancer or who are cured, are honoured. The ‘Kanjerkroning‘ makes clear why research into childhood cancers and finding new treatments is so important.

One in four children still dies of cancer in the Netherlands.

In September and October, further ‘Run for Kika’ events take place. One is scheduled to take place in Amsterdam and the other one in Nijmegen.

Book and record market for children in Haiti

Sunday, a book and record market was organized in Geldrop. The money raised will go towards poor children living in Haiti.

Volunteer organization Stichting Actie voor Haiti (Action for Haiti Foundation) organized this market. The organization has been raising money for children in poverty-stricken Haiti since 2003.

This market lasted from eleven o’clock in the morning till three o’clock in the afternoon. How much money was raised, is not yet clear.

KOBANÊ INVITES YOU TO STORIES OF EYE WITNESSES

Kobanê workgroup is organising an event on Freedom, Equality and Hope in Northern Syria called Stories of eye witnesses.It will be on Friday 6 July from 17:45 to 21:30 at S-Plaza.

Besides the stories there will be a benefit meal and music.

Admission is free and they ask €8 p.p to cover the cost of the meal. Your donations over and above this will go towards school HIVI in Kobane.

Program: A resident of northern Syria will come to Eindhoven for this meeting with a personal story about life in this part of Syria before 2011: “From oppression to self-government”.

Jodi Liefhebber from Almere is just back from a trip through northern Syria and will give a presentation: “Jin, Jiyan, Azady: Woman, Life, Freedom in Rojava”.

Constance van Dorp reports on a humanitarian project: “Hîvî means Hope and is the name of a school”.

Peace in the Middle East is still far away. But large parts of northern Syria are safe enough. The inhabitants feel free of Assad and ISIS and try to build a new society. In the city of Kobane/ Ayn al-Arab, the Women’s Council has established a school for about 25 handicapped children, who were neglected and forgotten during the war. The name of the school is Hîvî, this means Hope. Eindhoven citizens donated 10,000 EUR for this school. With this amount, a building is currently being refurbished and equipped for the education of 50 disabled children.

You can find S-Plaza at Bleekweg 1F in Eindhoven. For more information eindhkbn.events@gmail.com or via www.vredesburo.nl

La Fura dels Baus plays Manus in the Parktheater

The famous Catalan theatre company La Fura dels Baus is coming to Parktheater in Eindhoven from 12 to 15th September 2018.

The Philipszaal will transform into a ‘Black Box’, a picturesque space without seating where everything is possible. You will be able to stand, walk or move among the actors who will involve you in their performance.

With Manes, the group is returning to the original form of La Fura dels Baus’ productions from the 80s: primitive, harsh and violent. We live in a society that is no longer dominated by humans, but by technology. Manes confronts and immerses you in your most animalistic nature. The boundary between actor and audience fades. La Fura dels Baus performs throughout the world and leaves its audiences surprised, dismayed, discouraged or irritated. Let yourself be challenged by these masters of disruption.

This unique show, co-produced with Parktheater Eindhoven, is on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, running for four days. It will start at 20.30 and will cost €24.50.
