Neighbors from the Kadijken and Oostelijke eilanden come together for a Freedom Meal at the Oosterkerk.
The Freedom Meal is a chance for locals—young and old, from all kinds of backgrounds—to connect, share stories, and talk about what freedom means to each of us. There’ll be live performances, music, and dancing from around the world.
