High Road to Culture in Flanders and the Netherlands
Getting young people excited about contemporary Dutch-language poetry. With that goal in mind, Flemish-Dutch cultural institution Ons Erfdeel vzw and Poëziecentrum vzw joined forces. Their collaboration resulted in the video poetry project Bewogen Verzen (Moving Verses). Nine youngsters from the Low Countries created poetic films based on their favourite Dutch-language poem.
