WHAT YOU CAN DO

The attainment of an undivided sense of solidarity has its origin in the consciousness of individuals and their belief in the power of connecting with others. It all starts with ourselves, here are some tips to get started yourself:

• Awareness of the influence that your actions can have on others and especially those with differing opinions. Your openness makes the difference whether you involve and stimulate people or whether you contribute to exclusion and fragmentation;

• Make a sincere effort to find common ground that make you strong in (new) relationships with others. Appreciate , respect and accept each other despite obvious contradictions;

• Put yourself in someone else’s shoes, without prejudice or bias and be empathetic.

Make the statement to others that we are united by kindness , acceptance and inclusion . Demonstrate that you show solidarity, respect for fellow human beings and your commitment to the inclusive society that we envision.

Tip: wear the white ‘Samen Solidair’ wristband to visibly support the message.
