WHY EMBRACE?
Embrace is a response to the challenges surrounding newcomers today. What makes Embrace really special is that newcomers are involved in creating this event. We work together with Regenboog groep and Turning Tables to make the connections that are made through the event, last. In this way, work towards a lasting impact of embracing cultural diversity and promote acceptance, understanding and inclusiveness.
So, let’s join hands and come together for an unforgettable evening. Because where people meet & eat, the best stories and most valuable connections are born.
