lineup Blikopener Festival complete
de wijk de wereld presents: buurtmoeders
From 4:00 PM until late at night, the Buurtmoeders (Neighborhood Mothers) in Lewenborg walk through the neighborhood daily in pairs. Recognizable by their pink vests, they gently prevent a lot of trouble and make important contacts with young people. Watch the film that De Wijk De Wereld made about these neighborhood mothers with a warm heart for the community at Blikopener Festival!
New heroes presents: farm well
It's sometimes hard to be a farmer today. Meet the farmers who are making a difference! At Blikopener Festival, you can watch 6 short stories of farmers in Europe with inspiring and powerful social innovations: projects that improve mental, social, and physical well-being.
What no one tells you!
This immersive, interactive installation invites you to share and reflect on your life experiences and struggles. The installation fosters empathy, understanding, and connection, offering a powerful opportunity to bridge social gaps and cultivate community. Add your voice to this ongoing dialogue!
strange fruitz camp x mosterd
What does religion look like in 2024? In a world with a violent past and an uncertain future, more and more (young) people are seeking rituals, hope, and forms of solidarity to give life meaning. During this interactive meal, Strange Fruitz Camp and Mosterd invite you to engage in conversation with someone you don't know.
