What’s your Rotterdam?
Your favourite spot, a hidden gem, a place full of memories or simply somewhere you love to hang out.
We all experience Rotterdam differently. But what happens when we start discovering the city through someone else’s eyes?
On November 5, Stichting 10.000 HOURS and Time Is The New Space bring different people and perspectives together for The Brave Space.
18:30 – 21:30 | Embrace Buddies (private session)
The evening starts with Embrace Buddies, a programme by Stichting 10.000 HOURS that brings newcomers to Rotterdam together with local Stadsgenoten.
Over the course of three weeks, participants get to know each other through shared activities, conversations and new experiences. The idea is simple: creating meaningful connections between people who might not otherwise cross paths, while discovering what Rotterdam has to offer.
During The Brave Space, our buddy duos head into the city to explore Rotterdam from different perspectives. From favourite local spots to hidden gems and places that hold personal memories, they’ll share their own version of Rotterdam with each other.
21:30 – 00:00 | Open to everyone
From 21:30, we open the doors to the wider community.
With DJ sets, we’re bringing music, people and different perspectives together at Time Is The New Space, right in the creative heart of Rotterdam.
An evening to meet new people, discover Rotterdam’s creative scene and connect with the communities that make this city what it is.

The current edition is already underway, but you’re more than welcome to come by, meet the community and discover what Embrace Buddies is all about.
