A New Leaf
Barend Blom, Maarten Hoogslag and Roel Rutgers
In this room there is someone who listens to you and is prepared to have a conversation. About what? That's up to you - and your conversation partner. Maybe you can talk about nature when you were young. Or about that one time when you were just happy. Or perhaps about how you imagine the future? Enter and find out.
Just relax. Nobody is trying to convince you, or even inform you. And we are certainly not going to have any discussions. The aim is simply to get away from the madness of the day.
It is this environment that we need, according to the makers of A New Leaf, to tackle the climate crisis. Together, they investigated in which environment the most connecting conversations take place. That is about the space, but also about the people you find in it. Take a seat and be inspired.
