Special edition of SOFT tulip’s annual network event!

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.

Nearly 50 partners, colleagues, volunteers and friends joined us to reflect on our shared journey, celebrate what has been achieved and envision the future we are building together.

A big highlight of the day was the panel discussion around the theme “A Safe Place”, a moving conversation on inclusion and belonging. We were honoured to welcome Aaltje van Zweden as a special guest, who shared her inspiring insights and personal reflections.

Thank you to all who joined us, for your your energy, openness and contributions. We look forward to staying in touch and building new collaborations in the future!
