Sustainable Water Management. What is my impact?
In a time when climate change advances, we want to talk with you about water. Water is the base of nearly everything in life: our health, nature, farming, and recreation. The availability of enough clean water looks to be obvious but isn’t anymore. Climate change in Holland leads to droughts and floods. In the meantime, we can contribute to solutions as citizens. A brief presentation will be given about the challenges of water management in our surroundings in Brabant. We would like to discuss with you how droughts and floods affect you and how we can make a positive impact.
The presentation for the discussion is given by Mado Ruijs who is passionate about healthy water, nature, and sustainability. She works for the regional Waterboard ‘De Dommel’. She will share her thoughts on sustainable water use when you consider the whole picture and the water system.

Topic: The thin line between Professional Designer & Amateur Maker
THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF MUSEUMS. DEAD OR ALIVE?
The topic of museums and their impact on society will be discussed at this Equal Table.
Museums are non-profit organization with the aim of educating, engaging and sharing knowledge to the community. However, sometimes it isn't easy to understand the message they are trying to share(Does everyone understand the underlying message?).
From the outside, museums can sometimes look like “elite” places where only cultured people can afford to gain insights from the work of art: Should museums foster inclusivity by focusing on a wider range of audiences?
Bring the topic to your circle of friends
