Come and join us!
As well as pop concerts, you can also attend a range of talks, debates, exhibitions and other cultural activities.

There will also be fun activities for the children. Leiden University is also organising pop-up lectures in the House of Representatives (in Dutch) on 5 May on the theme of '100 Years of universal suffrage'.
