"Children of Zaanstad want soot" Interior

According to Van der Does, 200 children of Zaandam were interviewed about the holy man before the evening of debate. As for the entrance, we must "go crazy, with a lot of dance and music," she said. According to the children's mediator, they associate the color of the population with Saint's story. "And that's where Zwarte Piet goes in, so there's a preference for black ash kernels."

Van der Does announced that he would contribute to the results of this research during the dialogue evening, at which about 100 people registered. They were greeted by the alderman Rita Noordzij, who replaced the sick mayor Jan Hamming. The municipality is "proud to have become so visible not only the saint, but all the Netherlands will soon look at the statues of Zaandijk and Zaanse Schans", according to the city councilor.

About Zwarte Piet, she said that "the debate is getting progressively darker, but Zaanstad is a nice place to organize because our city likes to dialogue." It's a good time to see what We are tolerant. "

Participants in the Dialogue Evening are divided into groups that discuss around twelve closed-door St. Nicholas Day tables. Later in the evening, the findings are shared during a joint discussion session.
