Mak will shed light on what we can learn from these old ties and contacts, now that the European dream he wrote about earlier is increasingly under pressure. Has the European dream been shattered or does he see opportunities to keep that dream alive, thanks to the past?

This event will be held in Dutch and is kindly supported by the Dutch Church.
