Bridge to Liberation Summit 2026

THIS WAS THE THIRD SUMMIT

On September 17, young people aged 16 to 26 gathered in Arnhem to discuss freedom. The central question was: what does 'never again' mean today?

They listened to inspiring stories, engaged in conversation with each other, and continued working on their own ideas about freedom during various workshops.

Getting to work together

During the Summit, it was not just about listening, but above all about participating. After the stories of Marc van der Kuilen and Noa Duizend, among others, the young people got to work themselves.

They worked on a Freedom Challenge, interviewed a Holocaust eyewitness, danced with Introdans, or made music with Josua Peter.

An afternoon full of encounters, conversations, and creativity, in which the voice of young people took center stage.

THE NEXT SUMMIT

Bridge to Liberation Summit gets a sequel.

During the next edition, we will also bring young people together to discuss freedom and get to work themselves.

We will announce more about the next Bridge to Liberation Summit soon.
