Let me tell you a story

‘In my TED talk I will tell the audience a story. The story of a crime. It’s based upon one of the pieces in my book Exile, which has been printed in twenty-seven countries including The Netherlands with the title Verbannen. Together with the audience, we’ll try to walk in every character’s shoes, and try to understand them. As human beings, we tend to be judgmental most of the time. But what if we hear everyone’s story, from their sides? Would this make us less judgmental, more understanding? Would this prevent anyone from being offensive towards each other? Would this make the world a better place? We’ll ask these questions and see what happens.’
