Last week, we reported on a special collaboration — and on 7 November 2025, a day of action was held in support of Ukraine, organised by Groot Nieuws Radio and the Christian Platform Eastern Europe (CPOE).

Between October 22 – 24, the SOFT tulip team took part in the event of our partners EASPD Brussels in their event “Empowering Families, Enabling Self-Determination: Rethinking Support at Every Stage of Life.”

This year we had a particularly special edition as we bid farewell to Eric Bloemkolk his role as director ánd together looked ahead to the new strategic direction of SOFT tulip towards 2030.

At the beginning of October, together with Cordaan, we co-organised visits to two specialized schools in Amsterdam — Drostenburg School and Koetsveld School — both for children aged 4 to 12.

The first interview is with Hanneke Vrieling.
