I am proud of the cross-pollination that takes place at Mediamatic. Where we learn by Maria Montessori's view, the 'teach me to do it myself', but then together. Self-sufficient collaboration. I am proud that we are a place that strengthens, enlarges, complements and amplifies. I am proud that we are a team that strengthens each other. I am proud that we enthuse so many young people to think in all directions and that we give them the opportunity to work before they graduate. I am proud that we sometimes make people think with their noses and look with their ears. I am proud that we organise events where everyone can feel at home. I am proud that we zoom in on the smallest, sometimes invisible things and make them matter. I am proud that I learn something new every day. I am proud that we listen to plants. I am proud that we set the bar high and the threshold low.
