Fail Forward & Rise

What if failure wasn't the end of the story, but part of becoming who you are?

Fail Forward & Rise is an evening about courage, resilience and the moments in life that don't go according to plan. We all face setbacks — in our careers, relationships, businesses, families and personal lives. Yet behind many of those difficult moments are lessons, unexpected turns and opportunities we could not see at the time.

During this Vrouwenplatform Almere gathering, we create space for honest stories, meaningful conversations and connection between women from different backgrounds, experiences and stages of life.

This is not an evening about celebrating failure for the sake of it. It is about what happens afterwards : how we get back up, what we learn, what we leave behind and how an obstacle can sometimes become the beginning of something new.

Expect an inspiring and welcoming evening where we can listen, share, reflect, meet other women and remind one another that none of us has to have everything figured out.

Come as you are. Bring your experiences, your questions and your story.
