Tomorrow, September 9, there's a bit of a Dutch and Flemish treat at Flanders House in Manhattan. There and then, Ons Erfdeel vzw Chief Editor Luc Devoldere will present the yearbook The Low Countries in the presence of a.o. Mr Ferdinand Dorsman, cultural attaché of the Netherlands Consulate-General in NYC.
The programma includes a talk with authors Stefan Brijs and Tommy Wieringa, who feature in the latest edition of the yearbook. There's also a debate with Wilco Tuinebreijer and Chinazo Cunningham, who compared urban mental health and substance abuse care in New York and in Amsterdam in The Low Countries. Ellen Baxter, who's in charge of Broadway Housing Communities, will talk about housing problems in the city. Finally, Peter Douglas will explain the New Netherland Project, as he so aptly did in writing in the yearbook.
Place and time: Flanders House (on the 44th floor of the New York Times Building), at 7 p.m.
