Stroom School is the umbrella term for the side program that Stroom organizes coinciding with exhibitions. In the Stroom School issues are highlighted and deepened in another way than in the exhibitions. The Stroom School activities are free and open to everyone.
All Stroom School 'There, I Fixed It' activities

This travel (by bike) through The Hague unlocks the city in a different way: not via the fronts and facades of shops and restaurants, but through the back sides and alleys where the containers and dustbins are located. Where do people throw away food? What is the best time and place to dumpster dive for food? What can you and what can you not take home with you? After actively collecting the food, we will collectively cook and eat a meal at Stroom. With video's and ample time for discussion.
