In the Rotterdamlezing, we connect the city with our university by transferring knowledge about social challenges.
The 'Rotterdamlezing' has been a gift from Erasmus University Rotterdam and Erasmus Trustfonds (co-organiser of this evening) to the city since 2003. The university actively seeks to connect with the city by researching what is alive among its residents and by contributing to solving social challenges. The lectures always have a keen eye for the most current challenges for Rotterdam.
Trust in the government is low among many people. The recent election results show that. On the other hand, recent fraud investigations also showed a huge distrust from the government in the benevolence of citizens. How do we solve this? Are the many citizen collectives in Rotterdam the missing link between citizens and government?
On May 13th 2024 professor Tine de Moor takes you into the world of citizen collectives during the 20th Rotterdamlezing. A citizen collective is a group of people who unite to pursue common goals relevant to their community. She talked about how citizen collectives help and can help the city of Rotterdam in the future.
