Tegenlicht Meet Up Gent

Tegenlicht (aka Backlight) from the Dutch broadcaster VPRO is a renowned docu series focusing on societal issues. It presents in-depth research and intriguing perspectives on pressing issues. Ghent is a city overflowing with curious and engaged citizens.

With Tegenlicht Meet Up 9000, we’re bringing the two together. Every month we’ll watch a documentary together and enter into discussion about the topics raised in the episode. For this Ghent edition we’ll also be inviting a guest for each edition. They’ll choose the report from VPRO’s selection. A moderator will then guide the debate and, needless to say, we’ll have a drink together.

Tegenlicht is forward-thinking journalism: a series of informative programmes in which new ideas and trends in the world of politics, economy, society and science are researched and broadcast by VPRO. Tegenlicht Meet Up is a formula that’s already been rolled out across over 25 towns and cities in the Netherlands.
