Together with my colleagues Kees Klomp and Ruth van Lenthe, I’m co-creating a powerful learning process with Windesheim students — as they write, film, and shape their own documentary from the ground up:
➡️ Momentum – Living Together in the City.

The film explores what community means in uncertain times.
We now have a title, a structure, and three emerging storylines — and we’re discovering them as we go.

Three storylines – one city, many voices:
1) A deeply personal story by Djenell Kroes, on facing mortality and living fully, even when life becomes fragile.
2) A powerful, global-local journey by Dièm Sopers, who traveled to the Sahara Arab Democratic Republic and spent time in a Saharawi refugee camp. His experience there — of uncertainty, dignity, and resistance — continues to shape how he sees community, solidarity and freedom.
2) The making of the documentary itself, where students connect with citizens, ask questions, listen, and film. The process is the story: community emerges through contact.
