WHY
GOEDE MOED
It can make us feel utterly disheartened, the wars, the angry and sorrowful people in the news, and the growing sense that people are turning against each other. In Wageningen, we want to keep looking out for one another, to keep up the courage to stay in conversation and find solutions together.
That’s why you’re invited to join the 3rd Avond van Goede Moed on 21 May 2026. We’ll start by sharing a meal in small groups at each other’s homes. Afterwards, we’ll gather at the Grote Kerk for dessert, a Goede-Moed-Show, and a Goede-Moed-Borrel.
All Wageningen residents are warmly welcome. Bring your neighbours, your Wageningen friends, and acquaintances too. And if you’d like to host and cook, that’s also possible. Sign up using the form below. Participation is free, and if you think it’s a good initiative, you can make a donation to help us organise more Goede Moed.
