Ideas worth spreading

My very personal Brexit

Kirsten de Bouter-Shillam |

TEDxHarderwijk

• November 2017

She lived with her family in the UK for 26 years. Last year she went back to the Netherlands, she heard that she could move back with her family, on the same day the UK voted for Brexit. This was her personal Brexit. Then the family had to adapt the Dutch life. All these changes gave Kirsten a different perspective on our society. Different cultures, interpretations and perspectives determine the way we deal with change, but they color also life. Building Tomorrow has everything to do with dealing with change, be open. Change can be very enriching!
