NEVER TOO NERDY

NEVER TOO NERDY is for nerds or for just those interested in learning something new. At NEVER TOO NERDY you get to hear 3 people share their nerdy obsessions one by one in an informal TedTalk-esque setting. Each topic will be different. We will bounce from making focaccia to map making, from colors in nature to Formula 1 racing. After the talks, feel free to hang out to meet the speakers and make new friends.

No Dutch? No problem. The event will be in English.

Grab a beverage / snack at the bar. Hang out and listen!

This event is hosted by Shane Urton in collaboration with Filmhuis Klappei.
