Heinrich Wolff - Architecture at a time of social change
Designers of the future lecture. In view of radical change such as in North Africa, urgent questions should be asked about the role of architecture in times of social change and what role architects can play in the outcomes of societal transformation. South African architect Heinrich Wolff strongly believes architecture can blaze a path to social, economic, environmental and political transformation and a more socially equal future in the long run.

Boekpresentatie De Getuige - Vamba Sherif
Scherp portret van Nederland in verandering. Voor de kok Onno verandert binnen een paar dagen zijn wereldbeeld. Zijn zoon krijgt moslimvrienden en bekeert zich tot de Islam, de marktkraam waar hij groente koopt wordt door een Marokkaan overgenomen, en in zijn vredige buitenwijk wordt hij gefascineerd door een Afrikaanse vrouw die in het asielzoekerscentrum verblijft.
