Interview Rabobank Founding Partner Open Amare

30 augustus 2023, interview

"Het is een uniek instituut dat een belangrijke functie voor de stad en de regio kan gaan vervullen," zegt Harry Wientjens (directeur Coöperatieve Rabobank regio Den Haag) over Amare. Rabobank regio Den Haag is Founding Partner van Open Amare, het programma met gratis te bezoeken activiteiten. Zo krijgt de creatieve energie van Den Haag een podium in Amare en maken Amare en Rabobank cultuur toegankelijk voor iedereen.

In de zomer van 2023 verscheen in Leven Magazine een interview met Wientjens. Lees het hier nu helemaal terug.
