FIRST EDITION DIWAN AWARDS HOLLAND SUCCESSFUL

On November 3rd, the first edition of Diwan Awards Holland took place in The Atrium, The Hague, The Netherlands. Diwan Awards Holland is an international recognition award for talented people with a bicultural background. Diwan Awards Holland was dedicated to successes and collaborations within our multicultural society. The initiative arose because of the need to contradict the one-sided and negative image of Dutch people with a bicultural background, by creating a stage for all these people who are not heard and seen enough.

The Diwan Awards were divided into different categories and the winners are:

• Legal profession & Law: Khalid Kasem, Partner De Vries & Kasem Lawyers

First Edition Diwan Awards Holland

Every edition of Diwan Awards Holland focuses on another group. During this first edition, the focus was on Dutch people with a Moroccan background. By focusing on a different culture each edition, the organization shows the new generation that many people, in different disciplines, can be an inspiration. The recognition award wants to inspire the new, young generation to make a positive contribution to Dutch society.

 Several national (and international) guests were present during the first edition, including Frans Timmermans (First Vice President of the European Commission) and Rachid Guernaoui (alderman of Finance Integration and Municipalities of The Hague). Next to that, Bouchra Baibanu, the first Moroccan and North African woman to climb Mount Everest, attended the event as well as Miss New York and entrepreneur Iman Oubou and Hollywood Composer Youssef Guezoum. Three top influencers and musicians from the Arab world, were present and performed. UFC fighter Abu Azaitar was also present to support Diwan Awards Holland.

Ali B presented the International Achievement Award

During the event, not only inspiring role models in the Netherlands were honored, but also a special International Achievement Award was presented to UFC fighter Abu Azaitar. On behalf of Diwan Awards Holland, Dutch rapper Ali B had come especially to surprise him with an award.

Special Tribute Abdelhak Nouri

Special attention was given to Abdelhak Nouri during the event. Abdelhak Nouri’s friends and family were invited on stage where they were surprised with a special award for Nouri. They also received a check of 15.000 EUR for the Nouri Foundation. This check was offered by restaurant Meram. The audience was moved and gave a standing ovation to the family and friends.

Enthusiastic audience and a new light

The audience was very enthusiastic, and they loved seeing so many role models within a culture. People look forward to the next editions with other cultures.

Ahmed Larouz, initiator of Diwan Awards Holland, about the evening: “We made a statement with Diwan Awards Holland and made a shed a new light. We have shown that there are many role models within a culture that can inspire the new generation. With our international guests we also have shown that the inspiration lies, not only within the Netherlands, but also abroad. The Netherlands is rich in cultures and Diwan Awards Holland shines a positive light on the bicultural Dutch, who work hard with a heart for the Dutch society.’’

Comedian and actor Najib Amhali, one of the ambassadors of Diwan Awards Holland, expresses the purpose of Diwan Awards Holland as follows:
“Our ancestors came to the Netherlands with a dream, the dream for a better life for their children, everyone knows the American Dream, but I know the Dutch dream, the dream of freedom, opportunity, equality and a good dose Dutch straightforwardness.  Many Dutch people with a bicultural background are living the Dutch Dream now.. We are proud of our little country and proud of our origins One does not fail for the other. It is the combination of these two cultures that takes us one step further every day.“

INVITATION À L’INAUGURATION DE LA CRUYFF COURT MOLENBEEK LE 22 MARS 2018

Chère Madame, Cher Monsieur,

Nous avons le plaisir de vous informer qu’un nouvel aménagement sportif est installé dans le parc des Muses : le Cruyff Court Molenbeek. Ce terrain de football en gazon synthétique est destiné aux enfants molenbeekois qui veulent pratiquer ce sport tout en leur apprenant les règles prônées par le célèbre joueur et entraîneur hollandais Johan Cruijff. À savoir : le respect, le développement personnel et la responsabilité.

Le projet d’un Cruyff Court à Molenbeek (il en existe 240 dans le monde) a été lancé, à la suite des dramatiques attentats de Bruxelles, par « PlayandPeace », une initiative d’Unico van Kooten et Ahmed Larouz, et la commune de Molenbeek-Saint-Jean. Le but est de donner un élan positif pour Molenbeek grâce à cette belle réalisation pour les jeunes dans votre quartier. Le projet est soutenu par de nombreux partenaires publics et privés tels que les Rotary Clubs Brussels Cantersteen et Brussels International ou encore le RWDM.

Nous vous invitons donc le jeudi 22 mars 2018 de 16h à 19h30 au parc des Muses, avenue Brigade Piron, à l’ouverture de ce tout nouveau Cruyff Court. Des animations pour les petits et les plus grands auront lieu. L’inauguration officielle se déroulera à 17h30.

Au plaisir de vous voir nombreux à cet événement,

Sincères salutations,
Ahmed Larouz & Unico van Kooten
Fondateurs de PlayandPeace

Au nom de : Rotary, Rotary Club Brussels Cantersteen, RWDM, Commune de Molenbeek, Molenbeek Sport et Fondation Cruyff.

From a divided world to a more Inclusive Transatlantic Leadership.
