Freedom, tolerance and diversity. Important concepts that every young person thinks differently about. How free do young people feel in our culturally diverse and multi-religious society? Can and do they dare to be themselves? In the VMBO programme Voices of Tolerance, Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder invites pupils to discuss this issue. During a museum visit and various workshops at school, they talk to each other about culture, religion, diversity and dealing with differences.
EDUCATION
Voices of Tolerance invites vmbo students to make their voices heard on themes such as freedom, (in)tolerance and (religious) diversity. In addition, they also learn to actively listen to different perspectives and to share their own views with each other. The program consists of a museum visit, workshops in the classroom and a closing event.
COMMUNITY
The Voices Community consists of students who participated in Voices of Tolerance and students from the MBO. They work together in the museum on all kinds of museum activities and create an annual art production that can be seen in the museum. In the talent program, the voice of the young people is central: what do they think about freedom and tolerance?
Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder
In the core values of Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder, (religious) diversity is strongly present. From this heritage we make the connection to our own time and to its social significance. How free were Catholics in the 17th century when they were not allowed to express their faith in public? How free are you when you have to hide your identity? This question is still relevant today.
