Rotterdam Change Days 2025: At work in the Ruins
Explore our Locations
Rotterdam is a city that glimmers with many pockets of change tackling wicked issues and offering glimpses of new possibilities. The Rotterdam Change Days are taking place not just at one of these locations, but two.
On Friday 7 November we set foot on an island, in the middle of Rotterdam: Eiland van Brienenoord.
It is a green and lush island where it is easy to forget that you are in a city; yet the city is all around. The island lies partly underneath a towering motorway and next to football club Feyenoord.
Buitenplaats Brienenoord, our actual location, calls itself a ‘rehearsal room for the future’. In a self-built circular building (built from the remainders of the former scouting building) social, cultural, culinary, artistic and educational activities intermingle.
It is a place for people who like to build a better future. A place for hopeful action.
On Saturday 8 November and Sunday 9 November the Rotterdam Change Days take root in OASE.
OASE is a former shipyard that is a cultural stage, café and lab for an equitable, sustainable city. We make – they say – big issues smaller, by showing our visitors ways to change that are manageable and fun.
Whether it is through conscious clubbing, community meals or sustainable workshops, OASE helps its visitors take steps towards a thriving city and world.
We have an offer for you at a hotel right in the middle of these two locations. Thon Hotel is – just like our two locations – on the waterfront of the river Maas, next to the iconic Erasmus Bridge. The hotel is just a few stops by tram from either location.
If you book here under ‘Rotterdam Change Days’ you get free cancellation until one day before the Rotterdam Change Days and breakfast is included in your room price.
