Show, Don’t Tell
Rotterdam is under pressure. Our city faces many issues – gentrification, inequality, polarisation… Yep, the list is long, and existing systems are failing to address the problems many Rotterdammers face today. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and turn ideas and dreams into action?
engage 2025
Join us from 9 – 12 October in Rotterdam Cool Zuid as we kick off with engage 2025, our first-ever happening – the start of a long-term movement, in which we embrace difference, dream together, and build a better future.
What is engage?
engage is a movement gathering makers, residents, entrepreneurs and social organisations to address the challenges Rotterdam faces head-on. Through creative collaboration, we amplify existing initiatives and create space for bold new ones. Whether through storytelling, music, visual art, cooking, or whatever moves you – we believe that collectively, we can shake things up. Real change happens when diverse voices come together with a shared purpose.
