World Literacy Day - Ban Lesa!
Sep. 08, 2025 8:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.

📚✨ Be a Volunteer on World Literacy Day – September 8, 2025! ✨📚

Every year on September 8, the world celebrates World Literacy Day to highlight the importance of reading and writing. This year, we invite you to join us in making an impact right here in Curaçao!

🌟 The Project:

On Monday, September 8, 2025, volunteers will visit elementary schools and spend about 15 minutes reading a story or book to a class. With this simple yet meaningful activity, we shine a light on World Literacy Day and remind children how powerful and fun reading can be.

🎯 Our Goals:

  • Inspire a love for books in children 📖
  • Create positive interaction between volunteers and students 👩🏽‍🏫👦🏼
  • Raise awareness of the importance of reading 🌍
  • Highlight the ongoing reading promotion project by Biblioteka Nashonal, where 90 trained volunteers already visit 13 schools each month, reading to groups 1–4.

👉 Join us and sign up as a volunteer! REGISTRATION HAS BEEN CLOSED

Together, we can make reading enjoyable and meaningful for the next generation.

When signing up, we will schedule you at a specific school and class. We will provide you with a book. 📚
The book and the story will be in Dutch. As the motherlanguage of these children is Papiamentu, you will have to switch between the languages now and then to cross check the understanding of the story. 

If you prefer a full Dutch or full English school, please choose the task of either one of these languages. All other schools mentioned by neighbourhood are local schools, which require Dutch/Papiamentu.

Timo Kelder

Climate change, impacts, and adaptation on Curaçao

Oct. 02, 2025 12:00 p.m.

Curaçao is already feeling the effects of a changing climate—whether it’s hotter days, sudden heavy downpours, or rising sea levels. These changes affect not only our environment, but also our health, economy, and daily lives. The good news is that by understanding these risks better, we can also see where the opportunities lie to plan ahead and protect what matters most. In this talk, Timo will introduce KlimaKòrsou (klimakorsou.com), a new Climate Impact Atlas created especially for Curaçao, and he will share some of his experiences working on projects that help our island adapt and prepare for the future.

Biography

Timo Kelders work centers on supporting Curaçao and the wider Dutch Caribbean in preparing for the impacts of climate change. At Stichting Climate Adaptation Services (CAS), he coordinates efforts with local, regional, and Dutch partners to build practical tools such as KlimaKòrsou (klimakorsou.com): a public Climate Impact Atlas designed specifically to help Curaçao understand risks and opportunities for sustainable development.

He also serves as Coordinator for the Dutch Caribbean within the IPDC, working closely with local governments to accelerate climate adaptation strategies tailored to the islands’ needs. Alongside this, he is a researcher with the Climate Extremes group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam’s Institute for Environmental Studies (VU-IVM), where his scientific work has been recognized with the European Meteorological Society Award for Young Scientist.

ClubRunner Assistance
Oct. 02, 2025 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Getting Started with the ClubRunner App

Not sure how to use the ClubRunner app? You’re not alone! Many members feel hesitant to download it, aren’t sure how to log in, or don’t yet realize the advantages it offers. This hands-on workshop will walk you through the basics step by step. We’ll work together, help each other out, and make sure everyone leaves confident using the app.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to download and log in to the app

  • How to access all club members’ contact information right from your phone

  • How to view upcoming events and club stories on the go

  • How to update your own contact details directly in the app

What to bring:

  • Your smartphone (a tablet or laptop can also be handy)

  • Your ClubRunner login details (username & password)

  • Make sure you are logged in to your Apple ID or Samsung/Google Play Store account, otherwise you won’t be able to download the app

Important:
To keep the workshop personal and interactive, we’re limiting participation to 10 people per session. This way, we can spend enough time with everyone and answer all your questions. If this session fills up, we’ll schedule another one.

By the end of this session, you’ll have the ClubRunner app set up, know how to use its main features, and feel comfortable keeping your club’s information right in the palm of your hand.

Effects of cultural differences: a silent rebellion

Oct. 30, 2025 12:00 p.m.

Speaker: Aline Abdul

(2003, Lebanon)

Aline Abdul is a passionate young voice for inclusivity and multicultural awareness. Currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Public Law at the University of Curaçao, Aline has already made an impressive mark in the academic and public speaking world. In 2022, she won the National Debate Competition and was named Student of the Year.

Through her company, In Other Words, Aline leads debate and literature courses and delivers motivational speeches aimed at inspiring youth development. Her drive to raise awareness about Curaçao’s diverse society stems from her own background—a blend of Lebanese heritage and deep love for Curaçao.

Multiculturalism and inclusivity are central themes in her work, reflected not only in her public speaking but also in her creative writing.

Presentation title: Effects of Cultural Differences: A Silent Rebellion
In this talk, Aline explores the quiet struggles of navigating cultural differences as a young adult—battling inner conflicts while trying not to “break the eggshells” of societal expectations. She weaves this reflection together with a series of her own poems, inspired by Dutch literature and philosophy, offering a deeply personal and thought-provoking perspective.
