Stroom School: United We

Stroom School is the umbrella term for the side program accompanying exhibitions. In the Stroom School, the themes are highlighted and more profoundly explored. The Stroom School of United We consists of a number of guided tours, consultation sessions and six special events that zoom in on specific areas where collectivity plays a major role (again), as we: work, live, organize, learn, make and resist.
