    Official signing of Thorbecke Talent School

    Workshops

The crowning

Recently you have seen several messages about the nice collaboration that I have entered into for a period of 3 years with the Thorbecke Talent SchoolThis collaboration arose from the MDT and our own Streetwise LSR training program.

We believe it's important to create an official moment for signing the partnership agreement. I'll be there with Principal Mirjam Berkhout, project coordinator Randy—also the team manager of the 20 teachers at Prinsenlaan—and our own partners, Peter van Diermen of the Dutch Sports Alliance, and Edward Boele and Bart Kleijweg of Neighborhood Lab Foundation.

Evaluation

Before the signing, we reviewed the first two months of the project with Randy and discussed specific areas for improvement. We were so caught up in it that we lost track of time, and Mirjam came to pick us up.

The moment of signing at the large table in the boardroom feels very special. There I am, someone who previously seemed to be a poor fit for the school system, with two partners and my own initiative. It's truly special, wonderful, and honored that I'll be able to influence one of Rotterdam's most progressive, top-tier sports schools. I feel proud when I think of the difference we've already made in the past two months and can continue to make in the coming years, so that hopefully all young people feel understood, heard, and seen.

After the official signing, we'll continue with the agenda. As the driving force and project coordinator, I'm responsible for the content of the lessons and collaborate with other workshop leaders. Finally, we'll take some beautiful photos, and with great hope and anticipation, I look forward to continuing our collaboration with this innovative school that dares to think outside the box. It's something I'm truly excited about and feel completely at home with!
