Mon Dec. 5: What’s hub: Free Tour

Instead of sitting with the family and reading out loud some embarrassing Sinterklaas poems , you can also take a peek on what is going on in the Impact Hub in Amsterdam. This free tour offers you a chance to experience of what it likes to be part of the Impact community: the social and global community of 16,000+ social entrepreneurs. Curious? Why not give it a shot.
