The Stichting Afropeans Freedom Dinner 2026, held on 5 May in Alphen aan den Rijn, drew more than 80 attendees and exceeded all expectations. A team of five Antillean volunteer chefs prepared a diverse buffet, including the traditional Vrijheidssoep.

The event strongly reflected the organisation’s mission to build bridges between people of African heritage and other cultures, bringing together guests from over 25 nationalities.

Two speakers, including a local council member, shared personal reflections on freedom, sparking meaningful multilingual conversations at every table.

The success of the evening was largely due to the dedication of volunteers who cooked, decorated, supported and cleaned, as well as the exceptional commitment of the community centre staff.

Stichting Afropeans thanks Participe, Buurthuis Mozaïek, and for their support.
