For Residents

WAARD offers various workshops to increase knowledge about promoting inclusion and tackling discrimination.

Workshops

For residents from our working area, we have several workshops that Groningers can often do for free! These workshops are also suitable for neighbourhood meetings, volunteers, or other groups. Of course, we can also create something tailored to the themes discrimination or inclusion.

Sporen van Slavernij

What the WIC did in Groningen

1,5 to 2 hours

A city walk that opens many participants' eyes. The slavery past long seemed a story of the Randstad. Until a few years ago, research was done on Groningen's involvement in the West India Company. Many wealthy families had an interest in this and took pride in it. Many people benefited from the trade, but there was also a dark side: slavery.

Discovering what is still visible from the time of the WIC in the city and which people from that time were involved.
Discussing racism from that time (1622-1873) and extending it to the present.
