Agenda

Wake Detentiecentrum Zeist 6sept 16:30u

Op 27 oktober 2005 was de Schipholbrand in de vreemdelingendetentie Schiphol.

11 gedetineerden overleden. 110 overlevenden werden verplaatst naar Zeist, naar de detentie op de locatie Kamp van Zeist. Vanaf dat moment werd er elke maand gewaakt op de 1e zondag van de maand. Tegen het opsluiten van mensen zonder strafblad. En tegen het uitzetten van kinderen die al heel lang in Nederland zijn. Op 6 september is de 250e Wake.

Sprekers zijn burgemeester Joyce Langenacker van Zeist en kerkasiel-dominee Kasper Jager uit Kampen. Het blazerskoor van de Evangelische Broedergemeente verzorgt de muziek. Tijdens de bijeenkomst herdenken we ook de gewortelde kinderen die hier gevangen hebben gezeten.

Neem witte bloemen mee!

ONLINE EVENT: The EU Return Regulation: What refugee and migrant communities and advocates need to know, 10sept 12-13u

Following the adoption of the Pact on Migration and Asylum in 2024, the EU has recently adopted the Return Regulation which introduces major changes to the way return procedures will be carried out across the bloc.

Most of the Regulation’s provisions will only enter into force one year after its official adoption in order to give EU member states (MS) time to prepare for implementation. However, a number of provisions, including those relating to the establishment of “return hubs” will be applicable immediately.

The Return Regulation significantly expands the powers of EU MS during return procedures and introduces a set of punitive and coercive measures. It allows for longer and systematic use of detention, increased obligatory responsibilities for the third country nationals to co-operate with authorities throughout the return procedures and stronger enforcement measures, including – under certain conditions – searches of private homes and shelters run by humanitarian organisations. It also changes the way some procedural safeguards are provided. In several cases, important rights such as access to legal assistance or the suspensive effect of an appeal may only be available if they are requested. This means that many people may miss important protections simply because they are unaware that they need to ask for them or the authorities intentionally do not provide them with the correct information about their rights.

Grenzeloze Verbeelding, LUX Nijmegen, 17sept19:30

Migratie is een van de meest besproken onderwerpen van deze tijd. Maar hoe ontstaat ons beeld ervan? Wie bepaalt welke verhalen worden verteld en welke stemmen we horen?
Tijdens Grenzeloze Verbeelding brengen onderzoekers, kunstenaars en het publiek verschillende perspectieven samen. Vanuit wetenschap, journalistiek, kunst en persoonlijke ervaringen onderzoeken we hoe beeldvorming rond migratie, conflict en identiteit ontstaat – en hoe die ook anders kan.

Vier onderzoekers en vier kunstenaars gaan met elkaar in gesprek over dezelfde maatschappelijke thema’s, ieder vanuit een eigen werkwijze. Waar onderzoek historische ontwikkelingen en maatschappelijke patronen blootlegt, maakt kunst ruimte voor ervaringen, verbeelding en verhalen die zich niet altijd laten vangen in cijfers of archieven. Juist de ontmoeting tussen deze perspectieven laat zien dat er nooit één manier is om naar de wereld te kijken.

Stateless Stories Cafe Rotterdam, 24 September 15-17u Pauluskerk Rotterdam

Stateless Rights Collective (SRC) is a stateless-led initiative in the Netherlands dedicated to raising awareness, building capacity, and advocating for the rights and recognition of stateless individuals. By placing lived experiences at the heart of our work, we bridge the gap between affected communities, civil society, and policymakers.

The Stories Cafe is an interactive, informal space designed to foster constructive dialogue between stateless individuals, local municipal authorities, legal experts, academics, and civil society actors. Rather than traditional panel lectures, our Cafes feature lived-experience storytelling, expert policy insights, and mixed round-table discussions focused on practical solutions.

What to Expect:

  • Practical insights on statelessness versus undocumented status in the Dutch context.
  • Direct, human-centered round-table conversations with stateless individuals.
  • Networking opportunities with local researchers, advocates, and policy professionals.

We look forward to strengthening our coalition and creating joint advocacy strategies together.
