Stichting Eekta

About Stichting Eekta

Eekta is a municipal organization that, since its inception, has actively contributed to the participation, social emancipation, and integration of the Surinamese community in The Hague's multicultural society. The foundation achieves this by holding consultation hours, conducting socio-cultural activities, organizing courses such as administrative support, information afternoons, exercise, walking, yoga, singing, dance, and music, and digital skills training. Now, it fulfills this role by more emphatically seeking out encounters and dialogues, building connections among citizens. Given its experience working with the Surinamese target group, it has built specific knowledge, a network, and considerable recognition in the Netherlands. This has contributed to Eekta's character as a Social and Cultural dialogue center. Eekta is visited by residents of The Hague from diverse backgrounds, as well as by grassroots and volunteer organizations. These organizations, in turn, are inspired to collaborate with Eekta to develop and implement activities focused on social tasks and the specific approach to Surinamese seniors. Partly due to its recognizability and specific positioning, Eekta is also frequently approached for collaboration by the municipal welfare/healthcare department, various social institutions, and other (neighborhood) organizations requesting advice and participation in organizations or working groups. Eekta is located at Boylestraat 20, 2563 EK The Hague, in the Segbroek district. It operates from this location, where its office is also located.
