Celebrating 750 years of migration
In a mature, inclusive society, we no longer focus on differences in origin or background. Imagine a society where we live together based on our shared humanity and equality. With Embrace, we bring this vision to life – creating a space where the people of Amsterdam connect and celebrate by sharing food, enjoying music, telling stories, unraveling and discovering together.

WHY EMBRACE?
Embrace is a response to the challenges surrounding newcomers today – a phenomenon that is deeply rooted in the history of the Netherlands and most certainly of Amsterdam. Migration is an inseparable part of the Dutch story. Together, they have built this country, and together, we’ll continue forward — not as strangers, but as friends.
What makes Embrace truly unique is the involvement of recent newcomers in creating this event. Partnering with the Regenboog Group and Turning Tables, Embrace promotes lasting connections beyond the celebration itself. By embracing cultural diversity, we aim to encourage acceptance, understanding and inclusivity.
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!
