    Project: Poverty And Inequality Awareness Event

    Unfortunately, even in the affluent Netherlands there is still a lot of poverty and inequality. Fortunately, there are many fantastic initiatives that support and advise people in difficult circumstances. Our research results showed that although there are many initiatives, the people who suffer from poverty and/or inequality are not aware of the possibilities or do not feel comfortable taking the step to help. Together with three fellow students we organized an informal event in cooperation with local organizations including the municipality of Zwolle, Travers, Zwolle Doet, Youth sports fund, COC, community centers, local elementary school and neighborhood initiatives. With a group of over 40 volunteers, we brought together games, sports, food, local residents and aid organizations to learn from each other in an accessible way.
