HLE Network honors International Day Against Racism and Discrimination together with Eindhoven's coalition for inclusion!
On Friday, March 21, several representatives from our network had the privilege of attending a significant event in Eindhoven to mark International Day Against Racism and Discrimination. The event, organized by Bureau NCDR, gemeente Eindhoven and RADAR/Discriminatie.nl, featured a panel discussion focused on Eindhoven's "Uitvoeringprogramma Inclusief Samenleven 2025-2026," a comprehensive plan which includes HLE Network's expertise-sharing and networking activities. The discussion addressed tough topics, with attendees expressing concerns over a rise in discriminatory behavior, but also maintaining a hopeful tone, with some reflection on the progress made over the past decades. We were especially honored to meet Rabin Baldewsingh, the National Coordinator for Anti-Racism, who is an important figure behind this initiative.
We would like to extend a big thank you to the staff at Gemeente Eindhoven for recognizing the value of bringing language education programs together and for including HLE Network in the "Coalitie Inclusief Samenleven." We are proud to be part of this coalition and are excited to contribute to making Eindhoven the most inclusive city in the Netherlands.
