Background
The Ancient Greeks had the Agora and the Romans the Forum. Here in Amsterdam we have the Rode Hoed that stands in a 400 year old tradition of facilitating an influx of idea’s. The Rode Hoed is a keen watcher and booster of societal debates and also a producer of debates, symposia, literary and even musical gatherings. In fact, our Oosterhuiszaal resonates a beautiful acoustic sound. We’ve become famous in the Netherlands for our cultural programming and therefore often have the honour to welcome the very elite of the Dutch policital, cultural and intellectual society in our midst.
