Jorritsma to take the lead at US tech fair

Eindhoven’s Mayor, John Jorritsma, is going to lead this year’s Dutch mission to the annual arts and technology festival, South by South West (SXSW) in Austin, Texas.

He will head up the mission on behalf of the company, Creative Holland. It is the third time that the Dutch creative industry, under the partnership, ‘New Dutch Wave’, will attend this American festival. SXSW has been designated by the Dutch Government as a strategic trade show. It is visited by more than 350 Dutch companies, creative minds, and artists every year. They go there looking for trends, inspiration, and to try and generate business.

‘Sharing of knowledge and talent’

With the visit, Jorritsma will build on the earlier contacts between the two cities. “From conversations with both Mayor Steve Adler of the city of Austin, as well as with the management of SXSW, it appears that there is mutual interest”, he says.

“We see many opportunities when it comes to sharing knowledge and talent. My goal during my visit to SXSW is to strengthen the Netherlands’ position as a breeding ground for creativity and innovation. I also want to build a sustainable relationship with SXSW and the city of Austin in the field of music, culture, and design. ”

SXSW is to be held in Austin (Texas) from Friday, 8 March until Sunday, 17 March 2019.

23 500 runners expected on Sunday

The Eindhoven Marathon is expecting some 23 500 runners to run in the event on Sunday. This is about the same number as last year.

Most of the participants will be running in the 21km half marathon. There will be 8 600 participants running this distance on Sunday. With 5 000 runners, the 5km City Run is also popular. On Sunday, the other runners will participate in the relay race, the mini-marathon, and the full marathon of just over 42 kilometers.

On Saturday, there will also be a walking event. This event includes the 5KM4All, which also allows people with disabilities to participate. On Saturday night 3 000 runners will run 10km by night.

On Sunday, the Kenyan Kirwa and Ethiopians Assefa and Robi are considered favourites.

The marathon will cause a hindrance because of the many roadblocks. Here, drivers can see what to expect. Many buses will not be riding either. Until 13:00 the buses n the lines 8, 11, 14, 18, 19, 317, 318, 319, 402 and 403 will not ride on the motorways. They will only stop at stops within the ring. After 13:00 everything would run normally as per schedule.

Donate your pre-loved toys this Xmas

Everyone knows that kids love to get toys for Sinterklaas and Christmas. Sadly, not everyone can afford to buy new ones for there children. There is a solution.

The regional radio station, Radio JND, has had a Pakjeshuis at the Stadhuisplein since yesterday (Friday, 29 November). They will be there until Sunday, 2 December. The radio station will not only be collecting toys for underprivileged children.

You can request a song, at a fee. All monies collected in this way will be donated to the Speelcadeau Foundation. People wanting to bring toys by car are welcome. A special drop-and-go zone has been demarcated for them.

The Speelcadeau Foundation also collects used toys that are still in good condition throughout the year. They then pass these on to children from families, who are not financially well-off, in the Eindhoven region.

This Foundation is located at 62 Bloemfonteinstraat, Eindhoven.

Portal: The Next Gen concert to honour war veterans

Portal: The Next Gen concert to honour war veterans

During ‘Portal: The Next Gen’, loud music pops out of the speakers most of the day, but not at eight in the evening. That’s when the bar closes, and the music turns off.

The hardstyle event holds two minutes of silence for war victims. ”If you don’t keep your mouth shut, you will go out.”

Portal The Next Gen

These are the words of organiser Max van der Linde (21). Together with co-organiser Djem Oosterbroek (19), he wants to send a signal. ”The rawstyle and hardcore scene is often seen negatively in the news. We want to turn that around and show that we do show respect for this. To also show that things can be different and that we are not boys and girls who give a shit about everything,” says Max.

Bad image

Indeed, according to the pair, that image is wrong. ”People think we are a bunch of madmen who go to the typhus, ramming and taking drugs. That bad stigma is just not there anymore,” Djem explains. Thus, there is a ‘zero-tolerance’ drug policy during the party. Although the music has to be your taste. ”To an outsider, the music seems quite aggressive. We have that certain audience that comes purely for the music and our concept. You notice that all the visitors know the music and shout and sing along, which makes the atmosphere top-notch. I dare say there is never a fight.”

So, both the audience and the DJs, they have received positive reactions to their scheduled moment of silence. After the two minutes, the event resumes. ”Again, it is not the intention that everyone stands there stricken. It has to remain light-hearted. We will think about it for those two minutes but enjoy it even more afterwards”, says Djem.

Tears

For the Media and Event Management students at SintLucas, it is the third time they have held the music event. Like the previous times, this edition is also sold out. Four hundred men will be stomping at Club BOLD in Eindhoven on Saturday.

”I could never have imagined a year ago that where I am standing now was possible. I’m sure I’ll have a moment of realisation at the event. Then there might be tears too; that’s how much passion we have,” Max says.

Anniek named best junior pancake baker

Eindhoven’s Anniek Verbunt has won the title of ‘Best Junior Pancake Baker in the Netherlands’. Under the watchful eye of a jury, the 9-year-old defeated two other candidates in the final.

The jury consisted of six grandfathers and grandmothers during the final in Veenendaal. These gourmets were unanimous after the final battle, in which the three finalists had to show what they had to offer. “Anniek is the ideal junior pancake baker. The skills to bake the tastiest, round pancakes and peace and concentration behind the stove. She is also an expert at baking the ‘normal’ pancake and her special pancake with marinated apples and raisins. ”

Starting signal

With the title in her pocket, Anniek can now give the starting signal for the national pancake festival next week, together with the TV baker Cas Wolters, which will take place at her own school, De Achtbaan in Eindhoven. On that day, around 85,000 students from primary schools throughout the country will work for the elderly. More than 1,700 schools are expected to participate.


The competition and the national day are an initiative of the companies Tefal, Blueband and Koopmans.

It is an initiative of Carola Eijsenring (Indigo-Wereld), who has demonstrated more initiatives in the past with a focus on internationals of Eindhoven.

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)
Initiator/coach: Carola Eijsenring (Indigo-Wereld)

Date: Tuesday 4 December,  20:30-21:15. Doors open at 20:15.

Location: Pand P, Leenderweg 65, 5614 HL Eindhoven

A pub crawl with lectures?

On Tuesday night, there was a pub crawl which included lectures on the history of Eindhoven.

During the event, historians gave lectures on the history of Eindhoven. It started at 19:00 at Café Wilhelmina. City archaeologist, Nico Arts, gave a short lesson on the early period of the city. The next stop was Café Sands on Stratumseind. Here, cultural historian, Jos Hüsken, gave a talk on the history of the Netherlands’ longest stapstraat (a street with lots of bars, restaurants, and clubs). The pub crawl ended at Café Altstadt with a lecture on the role of the Van Abbemuseum in World War II. Art historian, Evelien Scheltinga, gave that lesson.

The pub crawl was organised following the same type of event that was held in Den Bosch. De Erfgoedbènde (The Heritage Gang), the youth branch of Erfgoed Brabant (Heritage Brabant), is behind the initiative and found the tour to be a success.
