Dutch TV - Erasmus Program -

For several years we co-operated with Dutch TV to provide support and a program segment. Initially we had a series about Dutch Design. Thereafter we showed selections of the 2014 TEDxBinnenhof (Global Challenges | Dutch Solutions), the 2015 TEDxAmsterdam and the 2016 TEDxBinnenhof (Ideas from Europe). Programs used to be broadcasted weekly on Sundays on free -to-air channel C31 (Ch 44).

As an example, the TEDxAmsterdam 2015 selections included the following segments (in alphabetical order, source: TEDxAmsterdam):

  • HRH Princess Margriet - "How can we prevent natural disasters from becoming humanitarian catastrophes?"
    “By investing 1 euro in prevention we can save 7 euros in emergency relief,” Princess Margriet of the Netherlands.

  • Jacqueline Hamelink - "BachTherapy!"
    Jacqueline Hamelink is a cellist who performed a piece for the audience of TEDxAmsterdam that is generally performed for just 4 people.

  • Leo Kouwenhoven - "Can We Make Quantum Technology Work?"

  • Maite Hontelé - "How Does a Dutch Trumpet Player Become Famous in Colombia?"
    Grammy award nominated Maite Hontelé tells us how she became interested in salsa and ended up in Columbia.

  • Mark Dingemanse - "The Power of 'Huh?'"
