Location: To be announced, in Eindhoven thought
Time: 13:30 - 19:00
During this Social Heroes activity, you’ll spend the afternoon getting creative together with participants of ‘Zonnebloem Actief’, an initiative that supports people with a physical disability or chronic illness who have fewer opportunities for social connection.
You’ll work side by side on creative activities such as flower arranging, crafting, or painting. No pressure, no perfect results, just creating together in a calm, informal setting where meeting each other comes first.
Not everyone speaks English fluently. Communication is often simple and informal, and with a few basic Dutch words, some gestures, and an open attidtude, you’ll be surprised how easily you connect.
Dinnertime
After the afternoon activities, we’ll come together from approximately 17:00 – 19:00, at Keukenconfessies in the Klokgebouw, StrijpS. This shared dinner is a core part of Social Heroes, a moment to exchange stories, insights, and a few laughs with fellow participants.
You’re expected to join us for dinner. A small contribution of €7.50 is included in the registration price.
