DEpolarisatie NOW!
The DEpolarisatie Steps.
A Proven Approach with Results
The method we use has been proven effective. It has been successfully applied for years in large companies to break through conflicts and restore collaboration.
We have adapted this method so that it can be used with many, many people.
From now on, we are bringing this adapted method to society in two simple steps.
Step 1 -
Re-experiencing TOGETHERNESS
Years of polarization have made us increasingly isolated.
We have gradually forgotten what it means to live TOGETHER and, most importantly, to be there for EACH OTHER.
In recent decades, technological advancements and increasing individualization have put enormous pressure on community cohesion.
We have forgotten what it feels like to truly be TOGETHER.
We want to change this, and we are doing it in a powerful and inspiring way.
We have drawn inspiration from Koolulam, a project from Israel that has been bringing thousands of people together for years—from all walks of life, all ethnic backgrounds, and all forms of religion.
This is not just another event. It has been developed in collaboration with an American psychologist and is specifically designed to be not only safe but also powerful.
The goal?
To let you fully experience what TOGETHERNESS truly means.
During this event,
which will be held simultaneously in every provincial capital,
each city will host between 2,000 and 3,000 participants.
You will immediately feel the energy of BEING TOGETHER.
This is not just a beautiful moment, but also a powerful first step to activate the DEpolarisatie effect.
This way, we create a wave of connection across the entire country.
You might be wondering, "Why not just start in one city?"
That is an option, but it would slow down the ripple effect—and honestly, we no longer have that time.
You might also think, "Well, this didn’t exactly help Israel?"
And yes, that’s true—it didn’t work as Koolulam had hoped. But that’s because Koolulam stops after the event. We don’t. We continue with Step 2.
Together, we take the first step toward a new future. Will you join us?

Step 2 - Training:
Depolarization is a skill you can learn!
As wonderful as it is to experience the power of TOGETHERNESS during the event, unfortunately, it’s not enough.
If we don’t take further action, it will fade into just a beautiful memory within days, much like a concert.
That’s why there is Step 2 – the online training: Depolarization is a skill you can learn. This training teaches you how to actively depolarize.
And yes, it’s something you can learn… in just three months!
An event alone is not enough.
As incredible as it is to feel the power of TOGETHERNESS again, if we don’t act on it, it remains nothing more than a beautiful memory—just like a concert.
Inspiring, but temporary.
That’s exactly why Step 2 is so important: the training Depolarization is a skill you can learn!
Through this training, you won’t just learn how polarization works,
but more importantly, how to stop and reverse it.
It gives you practical tools to make a real impact in your environment.
To make it as accessible as possible,
we offer this training online.
Additionally, we host a monthly DEpolarizers meeting in your provincial capital, where you can share experiences, ask questions, and inspire one another.
The training lasts just three months but provides you with knowledge and skills that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
Imagine what we can achieve if thousands of people learn and apply this—creating a domino effect of connection and change across the entire country.
Together, we go beyond just feeling what TOGETHER is—we make it a lasting part of our daily lives. Will you join us?

Step 3 - Take Action
Depolarize!
Now it’s time to put what you’ve learned into practice. In your own environment, where you can make the most impact, you will actively start depolarizing.
Start small, build confidence, and take on bigger challenges over time.
Together, we make a difference, step by step!
Now that you’ve experienced the power of TOGETHERNESS,
learned how to depolarize,
and understand how important this mission is, it’s time to take action!
As a DEpolarizer, you will now actively start making a difference in your own environment.
Where do you start? During Step 2, you explored this with your DEpolarizer group from your province. You have identified your starting point—a place or situation where you feel comfortable and believe you can make an impact.
A small step that builds your confidence to grow further.
Each month, you can reunite with your DEpolarizers in the provincial capital. Here, you will share experiences, learn from each other, and collaborate on solutions for any challenges.
This way, you stay not only motivated but also strengthen the feeling of WORKING TOGETHER toward a greater goal.
I'm in!And what will it cost?
It is crucial that as many people as possible participate, so we aim to fund everything through subsidies and donors.
However, if that is not enough, a participation fee may be required. This will always be at cost price and applies to all three steps.
Together, we make a difference—step by step, action by action. Will you join us?
Imagine...
Five years from now, you look back. What do you see?
- A society in chaos because no one took action in time?
- Or a united Netherlands that you helped build?
Your contribution is crucial:
- Sign up as a participant for the national kick-off event.
- Become a volunteer and help make this possible.
- Support financially as a donor.
- Spread this message so the initiative goes viral.
