On 8 March 2023, we are celebrating International Women's Day at TU Delft. On this day and beyond, let's all fully #Embrace Equity. With a glorious programme, Merel Vercammen and Dina Invanova, will take you into the world of great female composers. The Omdenken Show will show you in an ultimate mix of theatre, cabaret and performance how you can look at reality differently. In a panel conversation with among others, Marien van der Meer, VPO TUD, and Caspar Chorus, Dean of IDE, we will investigate the what, how and why of gender equity. Rob Mudde, VRM/VPE TUD, will give an opening talk on equity for this day and beyond. ADD TO MY CALENDER |
