About this event

Why is Ducth Sinterklaas festival controversial?

What is the story behind this tradition in the Netherlands with "Black Piet" and Sinterklaas who comes by boat and ride a white horse to share gifts with children?

We will start with dinner at 19.00 and then continue with getting to know about Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet, and whether it is related to past history of slavery or not. Why is it controversial?

We are ‘Host Leiden’ and we would like to help you feel at home here. We do this by organising informal events where you can have a great time and meet international and Dutch students. We want to show you different aspects of Dutch culture and give you the opportunity to share yours. Host Leiden is brought to you by Christian students from Leiden and is inspired by the Christian notion of hospitality and discuss important matters from different angels of beliefs (and from Christianity perspective).
