**Christian Michel - What are values?** ‘Value’ is one of those loaded words we encounter every day. Value pops up in conversations between mathematicians (‘the value of x’), priests and philosophers (‘moral values’), politicians (‘British values’), economists (‘value as distinct from price’), artists (‘is beauty a bourgeois value?’) ... Across its countless uses, does the word refer to a common quality? If it exists, where is the ‘valueness’ in value – as there would be a Hegelian ‘redness’ in all the appearances of red in the world? Is value a subjective judgement, anything that floats my boat? Or do values exist independently of any valuer’s opinion, for instance residing in nature, or in God’s plan for it? Or are values constructed, arising from human practices, conventions, and rational agreements? If so, could we ever construct a set of values around which to reconcile humanity? We live in a time when the most established values our parents and grandparents lived by – human dignity, individual rights, democracy, social justice, truth and beauty… – are contested or ignored. Does it mean that the notion of value itself is obsolete, or that we simply don’t understand it? **Christian Michel** is a journalist, essayist, who teaches economics at City Lit and has been a frequent speaker at Kant’s Cave over the years.

If you are living in The Netherlands, by now, you may well have noticed the amount of open water. If you enjoy cycling in the city, you may wish to feel safer as you navigate the bridges and canals. And you may also want to get ready for visiting the beach, pools or the many lakes this summer. Learning how to swim takes approx 1 year and it all starts with the very first lesson. New comers enroll via our website and pay € 30,50, this is the first lesson and a goody bag. After the class you agree with the personal swim coach how to continue to obtain your final objectives. Enrolling is only possible via [www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl ](https://www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl/)hence a rvsp via meetup is not enough.

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session# **Title**: Dreams (Drømmer) **Language**: Norwegian **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 111 min **Director**: Dag Johan Haugerud **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-dreams-drommer **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/140391 **Synopsis**: When high school student Johanne falls deeply in love with her French teacher, she decides to document her feelings and experiences in a diary. *Dreams* is the third and final installment of the Norwegian trilogy *Sex*, *Dreams* (*Drømmer*), and *Love* (*Kjærlighet*), about love and sexuality (all films can be watched seperately). This film was the winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. After Johanne has essentially written a novel about her feelings and experiences with her French teacher, she decides to let her grandmother read it, desperate for someone to know about it. Her grandmother is so impressed with the literary qualities of the book that she wants to get it published, being a poet herself. She shows the book to Johanne’s mother, but instead of being impressed like her grandmother, she is concerned with whether the graphically described scenes between Johanne and her teacher actually took place or not. While the three women discuss the contents of the book and whether to publish it, Johanne tries to get a grip on her romantic fantasies. **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

Come over to the Ducosim game fair in Amersfoort. For a small fee (or become a member) many publishers are ready to demo their published games.

Welcome to the event page for the city trip to Tilburg, held on Sunday January 11th, 2026. This event has a meetup at Arnhem Centraal (11:40) and Tilburg station (13:00), so you can easily join us from anywhere in the Netherlands. This is a social event open to everyone to meet new people in a friendly environment while exploring a city together! ***Summarized overview:*** 11:40 Arnhem Station meetup, near Burger King 11:53 Departure Arnhem: 63 minute train ride 13:00 Tilburg Station meetup, near Starbucks\* 13:10 Group city walk 14:25 Choice: Free time or continue walk With a coffee break at a café if there’s enough interest 17:00 End U&R event… But at 17:00 the Sterrentocht starts from Willemsplein! Sign up by RSVP on Meetup, OR via [Google Forms](https://forms.gle/C6JCCUH68X7QbQtV7). Travel by your own OV-chipkaart. Contribution: €3,- pp (to help maintain our Meetup page). \**Train delays and cancellations could affect the meetup time in Tilburg. If this is the case, it will be announced in the discussion chat of this event page.* *** **City walk, Free time & Sterrentocht** This event consists partly of a group walk in the city center of Tilburg and partly of offering free time. The group walk is at a slow pace so you can connect with others, while enjoying the scenery of the city and taking photos along the way. In case of bad weather: bring an umbrella! After about 75 minutes, free time starts: we’ll check in if people like to continue our group walk or if there are other ideas to do in the city. For instance going to a museum, a café, do photography or anything else. If we continue our walk it will be at the same pace, we’ll go to new areas and if there’s enough interest we’ll go for a coffee in between. At 17:00 we’ll stop hosting the event, but on this day the Sterrentocht is organized in Tilburg, starting at 17:00 @Willemsplein. This is a real recommendation if you like light, arts and Dutch cultural events. **Meetup in Arnhem & Tilburg** This event has a meetup in Arnhem (11:40) and Tilburg (13:00), as described above. If you're joining us in Arnhem, you have to use your own OV-chipkaart. Tip: check [ns.nl/reisplanner](http://ns.nl/reisplanner) on the day itself to be in time at either meetup spot! For car users, I suggest checking the official municipality website to find parking spaces and what fares apply. U&R is originally based in Arnhem, but invites people from anywhere to join our travels. **Sign-up: RSVP on Meetup or Google Forms** Sign up for this event by RSVP here on Meetup or sign up via Forms: [https://forms.gle/C6JCCUH68X7QbQtV7](https://forms.gle/C6JCCUH68X7QbQtV7). Everyone is asked to pay a 3 euro contribution to help us maintain our costs on Meetup. This is refundable if U&R cancels the event or reschedules it to a different day, or if you cancel 72 hours before the meetup. Hope to see you in Tilburg!
