the art of connection
Culture is what we create together. A theater performance that moves you, a creative workshop that brings people closer, a shared meal that sparks conversation — small moments with a big impact. Over de Drempel supports initiatives by artists and social partners that foster connection, spark dialogue, and lower barriers, so that everyone feels seen and heard.
working together for change
We aim to foster a society where everyone feels involved and where people can find each other more easily. To achieve this, we strengthen existing networks and encourage new collaborations between residents, social organizations, healthcare professionals, and community initiatives.
working towards sustainable solutions
Every Over de Drempel project explores how art and culture can help reduce loneliness — and how creative interventions can foster connection and a sense of meaning. By sharing experiences and insights, we aim to develop and expand successful methods. We examine the impact of cultural projects, the value of long-term meeting spaces, and how to raise awareness around loneliness. From young people to older generations: we explore how art can make a difference.
