Western societies hold a handful of truly sensible places, certainly two: the library and the community centre. Their sensefulness in to be noted in the followin: on the leaflets of, let’s say, Buurthuis De Poelenburcht in Zaandam, every activity (soup, a chess tournament, walking, knitting and crocheting) clearly states what time it starts, what it costs, and who it’s for. Although starting times may vary, the other two stand firm:
Cost: €0—just walk in
Target audience: everyone
An equally sensible place appears regularly at Bijlmerplein in Amsterdam Southeast. MOHA there is establishing the Library for Strategies of Surviving the Storm. On October 5, 7, 19, 21, 26, and 28, you’re warmly welcome to simply walk in (Cost: €0—just walk in) and engage in conversation about storms in life and how to weather them.
